No, 1-10 is my voting average. Since having originally 53 in the gallery and starting over, I now have 5 in. Not every single one has been re-submitted but, most have. I'd say my acceptance rate is more like 1 in 30 now. I attribute it to 2 major things. One is the gallery is filled in - so the judges can be much pickier. The other is peer voting.
If I had to guess, anyone else with a large number from the early days would encounter similar experiences to mine...or maybe everyone is out to get me now <evil grin>. -- Best regards, Bruce Wednesday, July 9, 2008, 4:23:09 AM, you wrote: DJB> If Bruce gets 1-10 and Godders get 0-30, no wonder none of mine have DJB> been accepted, since voting became the norm.
