Not only is she not asking "many people"...she's not asking -any- people. She's not asking anybody to do anything that they don't want to do. I can virtually guarantee you that most (if not all) of the people who enter this particular "contest" are not going to do it for the potential prize. They're going to do it to show their support for fusebox and the community. -If- they happen to win, great. It's an incentive, sure. Would you have been OK with this if there was no prize? If there had simply been a request made for people (who want to support fusebox) to submit design ideas? and then maybe the members of Team Fusebox would vote on the best one? And it would end there? Because that's really the way that I see this. Yes, there is a "prize". I just don't really think that's going to be anybody's primary motivation for entering. -- Charlie Griefer ================================================ "...All the world shall be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you.
