NEW SUBSCRIBER CONTEST RESULTS

OK gang, it's time to announce the results of our new subscriber contest. It's a mixed bag; some only had one friend to recommend, others worked hard to pull together addresses a few at a time off their cellphones, and one passed along multiple files of addresses. Some well-meaning readers had other commitments that kept them from meeting the contest deadline. No one specifically followed our rules, but the number of entries was fairly small and I was able to format the submissions as required for our mailing system to accept. It would be too evil to declare every entry inadmissible and keep the prize money myself (although that sound in the distance is our holiday credit card bills growing daily).

So in order of submission, here's what happened. Remember, it's not how many email addresses you submit, but how many of them are new to our list.

• Steve Costner submitted one address, and it was a new one.
• Clyde Takahashi submitted one address, and it was also a new one.
• Jeff Zarit submitted 43 addresses, and 25 were new.
• Robert Hoge submitted 25 addresses, and 22 were new.
• Duane Feisel submitted 1,331 addresses, and 1,051 were new.

So our winners are:

• $100 top prize to Duane Feisel for 1,051 new subscribers
• $50 second prize to Jeff Zarit for 25 new subscribers
• $25 third prize to Robert Hoge for 22 new subscribers

Thanks, everyone! That's a net gain of 1,100 new subscribers!
