Yes, I am aware of that. And yes, I'm sure that some commercial interest or other can (and probably has) mined some information from our witty pearls of wisdom.
However, two points: 1. PDML is not driven by or affiliated with any commercial interests, and I really appreciate that, and, 2. The forum that has set up the contest in question certainly is funded by advertisers. This contest is not really about honouring worthy photographs and photographers, it's about getting people to register information for use of their advertisers. That pisses me off. Kripes, they even have the nerve to ~not~ offer the winners a prize! Yeah, there's lots of info about me already out there; I don't want to make it any easier for them.
