"Now, about those prizes for the random drawing. All the people who donated prizes last year were total champs (including, as it happens, Heather Champ). They were generous beyond belief, shipped out their prizes in a timely manner, and added a frisson of giddy anticipation to the whole endeavor. If you're interested in offering a prize this year, e-mail me (nablopomo {at} gmail {dot} com). I'll announce more about that as it takes shape."
Thanks, and sorry about the mass posting of that question. Ning went down right after I attempted to post the discussion, and went it came back up my question had posted 100 times. Yikes! Still trying to delete all of them.
