- Keep your posts short and to the point. We have to count these posts to officiate the drawing.
- Do not hold off topic conversations at this Drawing thread. You may post only ONE time to this thread to enter the drawing.
- You may not edit your post once you've made it. If you need to do so, contact ORairgunner with a PM stating why you feel you need to do so and he will make a decision in regard to your request. ORairgunner's (Tom) decision is final and without question on these matters per Administration. Post a complaint in the Resolutions range if you feel there is a need to further discuss that issue AFTER first PMing Tom---not here as it will be moved and/or deleted if you do. ORairgunner will not discuss his decisions with you anywhere else other than the Resolutions Range once he has responded to you so please don't PM him about it further if he has come to a conclusion about your request that you feel is in error. ORairgunner is head of this project and his decisions are final. Don't PM or email Admin with complaints about this drawing. I"ll just back him (Tom) anyway and you'll only aggravate me possibly getting your name withdrawn from the drawing.

Post Note!
Look to the upper right of your post and keep check on the status there: If your post gets a positive vote, you'll see a green(?) bar there indicating that it has been accepted but this does not necessarily mean that you have qualified via the qualifications stipulated in the giveaway drawing.
And DO remember we have to have your FULL NAME, phone number, personal mailing address and no Gmail, yahoo, Hotmail or other IMAP anonymous emails accounts in your private information submitted when and if you win!
Just so you know, the above applies to ALL drawings!
Carry on!
