100,000th post contest February 08, 2009, 10:27:57 pm Yahoo Message Number: 99129It's hard to believe, but our group has been in existence almost nine years, and we're coming up on our 100,000th message. Chris Horst suggested, and we moderators agreed, that we ought to celebrate the occasion with a little contest to see who can guess the date and time when the 100,000th message will be posted.Chris is going to tabulate the entries, and to make things interesting, I'm donating prizes from my "Travels With Andy" website, including my Eureka 2 hints & tips CD-ROM, two of my RVing books, and the famous 5-Minute Chocolate Cake recipe mug, among other things. In addition to the first and second prize winners, there'll be a third prize winner chosen at random from all entries... so even if you're not a good guesser, you'll still have a chance to win! :-) The contest begins at one minute after midnight tonight, or putting it another way, at 12:01 a.m on Monday, February 9th. You can read the rules, find out about the prizes, and submit your best guess on this special contest page:http://andybaird.com/php/100K/> The contest will run for exactly two weeks. After that, we'll all sit back and see when the magic number comes up. Good luck, everybody! :-)Andy Baird http://www.andybaird.com/travels/

Re: 100,000th post contest: LAST CHANCE! Reply #6 – February 22, 2009, 12:43:23 pm Yahoo Message Number: 99527Well, we're down to the home stretch: just twelve hours until our "guess the 1000th post" contest ends at midnight tonight.To sweeten the pot, we've just added another prize: a nifty pair of compact folding binoculars. With five winners and only sixty-odd entries so far, that means the chances of winning are currently almost one in twelve... which is about a thousand times better than any state lottery! :-)If you haven't already entered your guess, you can do so here:http://andybaird.com/php/100K/> And if you have, just relax and keep your fingers crossed as we wait to see when the magic number "100,000" will come up. :-)Andy Baird http://www.andybaird.com/travels/
