Either I'm being ignored or nobody could see my posts. I have merited the third winner.

I will not merit any of Chipmixer's participants from my source merits, I would have wanted to be accepted and treated like a really trusted man.

in my arrogant and insignificant opinion, what you are doing Joe, is producing more spam. I mean what happens to 3 winners and 22 losers?

I don't think you're being ignored or unseen. I think people are unsure how to respond to you most of the time if we're being honest. I laugh through most of your posts, but then I cringe at other parts of it. I'm interested in hearing more about why you refuse to merit ChipMixer participants from your source merits, potentially in PM so we don't clutter a thread. Just out of curiosity, because we seem to accumulate a good amount of merit even with your refusal; I'm just wondering if there is something worth knowing.

At least you admit your opinion is arrogant. Cheesy
Point out the participants that are producing more spam as a result of this competition.
Are any participants being rewarded to spam?

My apologies for the delayed response; some things IRL have been pulling me away from the forum of late.

Don't worry about it. Real life comes first, if something needs to be handled you handle it. You're still more active then me while being busy, so I wouldn't think much of it or feel the need to apologize.

I agree that an alternate means of collecting entries would make the thread much more readable; but I must ask, do Google Forms require Javascript?  (Or worse, a Google account?)  If so, I may not enter an application.  I don’t know how Google Forms work, since I avoid Google services as much as practicable.

I doubt Joe would do anything to alienate participants knowingly, but I agree that we should do something to optimize applications. I would offer my help in this area, but I'm not sure I can realistically watch this thread enough to handle that sufficiently.

Since I seem to be a bit tardy here, I must thank bill gator for having applied my prize to my same Dev & Tech debut post as Darkstar_ and BossMacko applied my award last week.

The implication being that you wouldn't thank me if you weren't tardy.  Wink
It seemed appropriate for it to be that post.

Many of my posts this week were made in controversy-related threads, and/or dealt with forum abusers.  Those are important in their own right, but of limited interest.  

I do my best to avoid the drama. Too much epeen measuring. If something needs my opinion I'll share it, but it seems my viewpoint is normally represented by one party or another. They are of very limited interest, for very limited reasons and the least of which is altruism or benevolence I'm afraid.

Well, I think I’ll need to up my game here.

Turn it up to 11, ole' chap.
