I will say this much, and this much only....but 2 or 3 months ago (October, maybe Sept) our first contingent winner was a very active Charter Member, whom everyone knows. Unfortunately for this particular member, and the morale of The Pit in general I suppose, the 1st winner responded and claimed the prize (congrats to him!). BUT.....it goes to show you that you just never know!! Believe me, as much as I wanted to award the prize to someone we all know, honesty and ethics (and legality) prevailed and I couldn't.

Well, darn. I guess I’ll have to sacrifice and offer myself as an alternate if bushybro fails to respond. It’s cheaper shipping to N. Illinois than out to Huntington Beach.

What does happen if someone doesn't respond in time? Do we save money for a month or do we re-draw?
