Todd,

I don't think it is within your rights to arbitrarily set a deadline,
and then set an extension to that deadline.  There are a lot of people
living overseas whose votes won't come in on time and if the result is
close...there will need to be time for a recount.  I think I'll go ahead
and file a contest to the eventual results now to get a jump on the
crowd.

At least one person (maybe more) has built models which they haven't yet had
a chance to take photos of.  I think one person was waiting on the delivery
of their first digital camera and had something like 8 or 9 models built.

If there aren't any objections, I'd like to extend the contest's deadline
for entries from December 1 (today) to December 4 (next Monday).  That
would give one last weekend for any last-minute changes, photos, etc.

I picked December 1 out of a hat long ago without stopping to realize that
it was a Friday.

We should also make the deadline hour-fuzzy because of timezone differences.
So if you enter by Monday in your timezone, you're in the clear.  Then we can
start the voting on December 6 (Wednesday) and wrap it up by the 13th and
announce the winners on approximately the 15th.

Sound good?
