Although it should be devotion to the OSFlash development, Im quite sure there were contestants, including me for that matter, that entered the contest for the prizes (the whole point of prizes is to get more contestants anyways..) Wanting to start out for myself, this contest was a nice way of getting legal software for a starters.
So for those people the 'worse thing to do' wouldnt be so worse. I dont think its fair to withdraw them while they were being promised, but even when there was gonna be a vote for the best now and I was to be the best I dont think I would get votes having unveiled my goal regarding this contest.. ah well.. I was excited about this so this really was a disappointment grtz, danny --- Aral Balkan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Helge, > > I do apologize for the way I've handled the mascot > contest.
