yes, it is a nice idea for a comp.
By the way, you didn't comment on my protest banner...what do you think?
If we all demand answers now, and also have Tracy reinstated with her old blog back, maybe then, it won't happen again... maybe...

not one word, last I was told by her in an email, but, she can't even post as herself on the Writer's Forum, so she is given no chance of a recourse. It is just sooo bizarre, it's like someone has had a breakdown in Orble or something...dunno.. but it is not doing the site any good, lots of bloggers are both annoyed and fearful it could happen to them as well, some good ones are now leaving. Maybe you should post some support for her on her blog site, and it wouldn't hurt you putting your own thoughts forward on your blog about this ridiculous situation.
