Dave writes: Man, I am sorry for all these messages. I thought it might be easier to break up my thoughts. I'm also really sorry now because I think I sent all those out with HTML format turned on. Whoops! I see what you and Erik mean about prizes, and I agree that it would be cool to have some nice stuff to send to the winners. Maybe I am thinking sort of big here: I suggested that ribbons would be more practical earlier because I'd like to see lots of submissions in a number of different categories. And I agree that it's just not right to send out "junk" to people. Best of Show is certainly worth more than a ribbon or certificate.
