Hey druid12000, thank you for the amazing enthusiasm!

We are still ironing out some wrinkles, but as soon as we figure a few more things out, I'll give you a hollar if we need anything. Thanks mate!

Oh no, Michael Myers, don't lose hope! MacAllister has my purposed Rules and Regulations along with an event list for the contest. She is reviewing it and we should have a big update sometime next week.

Thanks for your patience!

No losing hope! We're working on the details -- but we don't want to step on the Back To School contest, either. So this WILL happen, but there's some timing and a few details to work out, and I've been utterly swamped this week, which doesn't help.

Keep the faith!

CJ, I'm small, imperfectly formed and easily missed, but I really should know better than to harumph out loud. My bad, sorry dude. Your initiative with this comp. is rightly applauded here and N.A.S. sounds fascinating too. All the best.

Caleb...

I will try to enter, when you get the particulars down. Right now I up to my eyeballs in life's alligators, but this is just the sort of thing to take my mind off of the alligators for a bit.

I know your contest will be awesome. I look forward to hearing the particulars.

Good luck!

Heh. We're not just stringing it out to build suspense, I promise. But the Back to School contest is in full swing right now, too -- and we're not going to step on that.

There's time, and there will BE time for those who want to participate. We just have to build it into
