Yep. If a contest says that an application manager is judged (by the criteria of indispensability) to be in the bottom half of 2000 apps, then the judging process is flawed. I'd like to know the 1000 apps that are more indispensable to the user and even more so I'd like to know who could possibly defend such an assertion. Some may view this a complaining but I stand by my assertion that this was an absurd score. So that is the reason I have no interest to continue with Google contests: I have no faith in the judging. I don't want to discourage other people for entering, as someone will win, but it's just not worth my valuable time. Perhaps, if the ADC2 goes forward with some measure of common-sense and passes basic smell tests, then I'd be willing to jump in on something like the ADC3, provided such a thing is ever in the works.
