One thing I would like to add. These contests are a LOT of work, but it is really worth it when you see how happy and appreciative our members were whenever they won something. I also noted that whenever a winner was announced, many, many members responded with positive replies and were all very happy for the winners. This is truely the sign of the great members we have on this site.

The chat session itself was a LOT of fun and I hope our members enjoyed it. The "live" giveaway chances seem to be a real kick, hope those that were not there can experience the fun in the next contest.

Regards,

BSR

Well said BSR. It was a lot of fun. The web is an amazing thing, bringing together people from all over the US in one small chat room. I truly had an excellent time chatting with all the Cocooners. Thanks for being host.

Just remember that the non-contest Fridays are good, too.

Smee,
I would be there every Friday if I could, but Friday nights are my family night out so I just can't make it normally. My wife was out of town this weekend so I had a free night.

Rupp, any night is a good night. We usually see activity in the room starting around 7:30 until about 9:30 during the weekdays. Stop buy and chat about automation with us some other day. Id like to here what the wizard has to say.

Sorry, Rupp. I meant that as a general comment - not for you specifically.

I usually have plenty of stuff to do so I don't tend to show up as much as I'd like to. But, since I don't have a life, it's usually not a problem to show up on Fridays.

Congratulations to all the winners. I'm sorry I wasn't able to make it Friday night (I had an out of town weekend commitment).

I did get the list from BSR with the gift certificate winners. All winners should have the gift certificates in their email by now. If you are a winner and didn't get the email, please contact me as soon as possible.

Thanks!

Martin
