Did you post this message just to defend Lenny, or because you wanted to take a shot at Chris?

(And before you ask: Yes, I am posting this because I want to take a shot at you.)


   If you don’t like the contest sponsors’ ruling, then do something helpful, like John Neal did.

Why? It seems John’s already posting the mandated head.

   Or maybe sponsor your own contest - one without rules, perhaps?

Good idea. I wonder what this mysterious contest could be about...

   Why all the outrage over the fact that a contest has rules and that those rules were enforced?

If you don’t understand why, maybe you need to think more deeply about it.

   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.

That’s what I thought too... until you started demanding that Chris imitate John.

Cheers
