I agree completely.  Every contest I've been involved with has always
received 90+% of its entries at the absolute last minute.  I mean, why
not?  There's no penalty.  If I am entering, I'll wait until I know I have
the absolute best arrangement and best pictures I can get. 

I was just saying that some may have thought that the address mistake was
why we didn't have any paid entries yet, but I think that the real reason
is that nobody's entered yet.  And it's unfortunate, like I said.  We will
have no idea how it's going to be until September 30th.

I think that with the post office notification and the corrections that
have been sent out, everything will be fine.
