This was my New Year's Eve "count-up" - checking all evening in suspense to see what the final total at LV would be - and who guessed it! Much more exciting that the usual New Year's Eve count-down!
Thank you for all the fun this has given - Oh, how we needed such fun!
And wow! What a lot of books we produced this year!

Hey... what just happened here while I was recovering from my Glorious Kazbek Victory countdown hangover? Let's get this straight now... one of us doesn't contribute a verse to the Piper, like everyone who entertained the remotest possibility of losing has done, and now of all people she's declared the winner! How dumb do you think we are to believe in a "coincidence" like that? Long story short, I SHALL NOT CONCEDE!!!
Added: Ok, I just reached out to someone who spent half a million dollars to learn how to read very small letters and they agreed to examine the fine print of the contest for me for a special discount fee of $1000. I've been advised to disavow the above statement and attribute it to Russian hackers (which, technically speaking, could very well be me, but I digress...) Long story short, WELL DONE, ROSEBUD!!!

That's great! You know, you could file for wrong stipulations and urge that over shots be disqualified...Kazbek wrote: ↑January 1st, 2021, 2:23 pm Hey... what just happened here while I was recovering from my Glorious Kazbek Victory countdown hangover?

Ah, but they volunteered to be DPL. An offer that is worth their weight in gold - not, of course, that any exchange of currency is implied....
Thanks, Todd
There's always someone...

Hmmm. There have been 17 items cataloged in the first 3 days of 2021. 17 items that if cataloged just a few days earlier would have put Twinkle88 at the top, after passing by Kitty, commonsparrow3, Availle, and silverquill. Wonder who cataloged those 17?
A friendlier way to look at this is that at this rate, we'll break 2000 in 2021!

The server logs have been erased that prove those filings were deliberately delayed by intentionally creating slow network traffic. I have proof! But the forum won't let me post all the data in the text box.ToddHW wrote: ↑January 4th, 2021, 8:04 am Hmmm.

Well, I know I was DPL for several projects that had just ONE section short of completion, and some of those just came in . . . . happens. And, there were those that just squeaked in on the last day. No challenges to the final tally here.
On the road again, so delays are possible

I agree! Just look at how the 2020 U.S. election has got us thinking now.

The best, wisest, most efficacious, sensible, and soundest advice I can give is to suggest we begin another contest. Maybe something to do with adjectives?
