Paul, no worries I just answered as quickly as I could as I was running out the door to work... I know all about that it is quite a challenge keeping all the "data" (posts) here on the forum strictly here- there are plenty of crawlers that try to skim the whole forum to create a fake forum with our posts in order to earn them advertising. I work very hard to make sure all your posts are kept here, where they were originally posted.
Mass, I would hope you would have some faith in the fact that I'll make this as fair as possible. I don't think WHO it is matters either, but know that who you are doesn't matter, it's your photos! (I want the best photos in the calendar, duh!) Remember that the first calendar's winners were picked by a panel. The second one was by public. This one will have the panel making the first choice to narrow it down (since we're asking for 5 photos from everyone this time!) then it will go public for the finals... Pictures, without names I think is the plan. So if anything, this should give you a better chance if it is true that so many will make it their mission to make you not win. =)
