I’m just a lurker (in this forum), any maybe I’m missing the inside joke,
but if this is for real, then, I’m saddened.
Yes, one fig head is as low as 4 cents, and several stores have no minimum,
but who’s to say, someone’s situation are not greater than those given.

I tend to agree. Also, the contest should be expanded to anyone who can’t
afford LEGO bricks. Allowing MegaBloks, Tyco, BestLock, and BTR pieces for
the Joe Vig Contest should be allowed. Heck, some might not be able to
afford building block toys at all, so we should expand the contest to
include any building material you can find, including dirt, twigs, and
chewed gum.

Lets hear it for the great orator; Lenny. With sympathy like that, who needs
enemies?
I tried to succinctly explain that I was stunned by a decision that was made,
for what appeared to be, valid reasons. I said “I was saddened.”
Your (in appearance) callous reply, only shows me that the Wide and Embracing
Community that was, is no longer.

Did you post this message because you are “saddened”, or because you wanted to
take a shot at Lenny? If you don’t like the contest sponsors’ ruling, then do
something helpful, like John Neal did. Or maybe sponsor your own contest - one
without rules, perhaps?
Why all the outrage over the fact that a contest has rules and that those rules
were enforced? The response is especially inexplicable given that the situation
seemed to have been resolved quite nicely before it was taken up as a cause
celebre.
