Thank you Trevor. Your fresh perspective has = hopefully allowed all of us to take another look at the sticker contest. I = think it is a shame that the party got spoiled.
Heck, call me selfish, but I just wanted to be able = to buy a few hundred stickers and pass them out to all the Vanagons that I come = across. (There's probably 800 just here in Santa = Barbara)
The sticker contest debacle would have never = happened, of course, if the list was run as a dictatorship. Or should we = elect a Prime Minister?... Anoint a Monarch?
Let's get the sticker contest back on track! = Too much work went into it to let it just die...
