I can assure the entrants a fair, transparent and impartial count of the
votes, with only the entrants casting ballots.
In order to make sure that everyone doesn't end up with a single vote, each
entrant would get two or three votes, depending on number of entries.
That should make a winner more likely.
However, in the event of a tie, the winner's share would go to support disk
space for the SI... (Eliminating much of the incentive to try to rig the
voting)
All transactions would be run through PayPal for accountability and
arbitration should there be any complaints.
I'm just thinking about it, so this isn't written in stone. Ideas are
welcome. Also, I have to check local gaming laws to see if it floats...
Take Care,
Dudley

Uh, Focus m'lad, you've been gulled by "Clayton Ramsey", another
manifestation of our Anti-DSLR sock puppet troll. Ironic because
*he* (not real volunteers) rarely offers anything but pure BS. Read
his reply one or two more times and see if you don't agree. Then
again, based on your opinions of the D90, perhaps you believe that
blind, wheelchair bound paraplegics would willingly go on 3 to 5
week wilderness adventures into remote areas so wet and wild that
portaging would be required. If you're not familiar with the word
"portage" look it up. If you are, wow, you sure are gullible.
This, by the way, is the same sock puppet troll that has said
several times that he has taken many award winning photos and that
he won't let the public see them (he despises the public too, not
just DSLR users) and claims that he will have them destroyed when he
dies to insure that the undeserving public will never be able to see
them. You don't need or want support from weevils like that.

I have to agree.
A check of "Clayton Ramsey's" header does indeed reveal that he is the
lurking P&S troll.
His claims of volunteerism not withstanding , anything he posts should
be regarded with suspicion.

??? The 200-400mm VR weighs nearly a pound more than the 300mm
f/2.8 VR Nikkor. They're both pretty hefty, but as I mentioned in
my other reply, it's the 400mm f/2.8 lens that's the real beast.

It would be quite hard to describe a photo, or even think, without language...
and the word 'pussy' is used for the same thing even in French. I've heard the
word 'chat' used in France to describe a womans....!
