    I 100% agree it is irritating even being accused of it..

    if you want to get technical, the longest thing you can come up with with the letters in "ONE THOUSAND POSTS" is ONE THOUSAND POSTS

    Guy's what is going on here? George and his little girl have put up a comp for people to enjoy yet all I see is bickering!! Do you honestly think that this is what he wanted?
    George I think would be within his rights to cancell this and start again. :mad:

    Very True. George wouldn't want to see that.

    ummm.....annotated is the best i can do without help lol....

    i wish i could make antidisestablishmentarianism out of that.

    by the way....funny story. i actually won a prize my senior year in high school for correctly guessing what hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia meant. I was the only one in my entire senior class to get it right:)

    George has not let Thalia Elizabeth see this contest, lest she be disheartened, as I am, with the way that it has turned out.

    Contest is now officially closed. I am going to sleep on what to do next and in the morning I will re-read the entries.

    Next time we hit a milestone, I'll just quietly send more money to Peter, or perhaps put some more peanut butter on the local food shelf that we support.

    Sorry to taint your milestone, if I won and you wish to void the contest I will completely understand I do see that i acted less than admirably

    Sorry, George & Thalia.

    George can I sugest that you re run this comp but next time have all answers emailed to you allowing ONE answer per contestant and using a new set of letters or even perhaps getting them to guess how many coins Thalia has in her collection :smile
    I have to say this openly guy's I am extreemly dissapointed in the way people behaved :mad: it realy was not in the spirit of what George and his daughter were setting out to achive

    Well, I appreciate the support and the suggestions, but despite what happened here I won't go back on my word.

    I have PM'd the winners and will send out the prizes -- I had a spontaneous :D additional prize.

    Next time, different contest, different rules, different approach. But not sure when or whether there will be a next time.

    I don't even know how many coins are in Thalia Elizabeth's collection... and we appreciate those here who helped add to that tally. You know who you are, and we thank you.
