Yes, yes, yes it is.
But also think about Rene's perspective. He must be getting a bit nervous
that he's not going to get very many entries as there haven't BEEN many yet.
And this is no small time contest! This is the richest fan sponsored contest
we've ever seen. It's richer than a lot of the contests that LEGO puts on!!!
And that's all coming out of Rene's pocket, AFAIK. So naturally he wants
lots of entries and lots of excitement. And people SHOULD be excited. It's
an awesome contest. So have a little pity. Post and say you're entering
(like Richard did) even if you're not quite ready yet.
But DON'T be worried that if you are done that others will try to outdo you,
I don't think that's the way we all do things. If you're ready, go ahead and
enter! Ben did.
