Thanks for the votes!
Greg was pretty-much in my slipstream all the way, and I suspect that if voting was a more popular past-time (say, if 10% of members voted...) then things might have turned out differently.
Here's an actual conversation with my flatmate yesterday: (Not the actual actual conversation, just the gist, I sometimes forget what I'm saying while I'm saying it...)
Me: Look at this, this is the best banner comp on the forum, it's been going for almost a week and there's only 20 votes.
FM: Who's winning?
Me: That's not the point, the point is all people have to do is to click a couple of buttons to vote, and they just don't bother.
FM: Who's in the lead?
Me: 'THAT'S NOT THE POINT I'M TRYING TO MAKE!!! I'M JUST SAYING THAT PEOPLE JUST DON'T BOTHER TO VOTE!!!!
FM: But who has the most votes so far?
Me: That's hardly the point... actually, I'm in the lead...
FM: Well done! You must be pleased!
Me: Have you heard a word I've said, about that not being the point!!!!!? But yeah, I'm pleased...
I'll say this in Ianglish -- 'dang', that's a great prize, thanks, Ian.
