Congratulations to the finalists, and to all the contestants.:patriot: :patriot: :patriot:

You've done a great job on this contest JeffR. :yourock: Though I haven't been around much I do try to at least check in and see what's up. I just don't always sign in on other computers.

2. Thanks, CC

I just added the link myself. As I always say, if something is worth doing right, it's worth doing only after the fact.:hide:

3. You're doing an excellent job JeffR

The "prize" for winning is great, eh?

But now you're a pro at this so the next time you host a contest it'll be a piece of cake.
:hi:

4. Ha! We'll see about that!

I'll be happy to place a respectable 30th in future contests.:rofl:

It's great that everything worked out alright, but it took a lot of wise counsel to get there! I'll at least give myself credit for being smart enough to take good advice...

5. You are doing great and betting not needing

anymore help than anyone else on their first time. I had ITF waking me through step by step and still messed up a few times.

6. Thanks

If only people in GD treated each other with as much kindness & civility as the people in this group do! Smartest thing I've done since joining DU was coming over here.:pals:

7. The two nicest places on DU I have found

is here and the KOEB. Though must say during Countdown the KOEB can be hard to keep up with. I rarely venture into GD and if I do only to read.
I'm glad you found us too, we get to see your photos. And some of us can be pretty greedy about wanting to see other peoples pics.
