Re: Fw: Contest

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

I think that we cannot do this without asking each individual entrant.  I 
think they have a certain idea of what their entries will be used for, and 
this would definitely be out of the range.  Now maybe I can do a mass mail 
and ask if people want this and just send the entrants who responded.

The thing that *I* don't like is that it's a lot of work for me, and today 
I'm very tired.  Maybe in a couple days I'll be more amenable to doing 
more herculean tasks. :)
