posted here because more people need to see it.
There are 16 entries in the March photo contest, and when I last checked, 28 votes had been cast. While some of the entrants have opted to not vote, that still leaves over a thousand supposedly "active" members of the Gauge unaccounted for. While I certainly respect anyone's right to not vote, I am surprised that there is not more interest in encouraging the people who have taken the time and effort to enter photos in this contest. And while you may be correct in saying that I'm soliciting votes, (a strict no-no in these contests) I should make it very plain that you are free to vote for any entry and I will be just as pleased if you vote for someone else. The point is, if you, as a member, take the time to view the entries, then please also take the time to vote.
And just as a note to Don (EZ) Day: if you think that this post, in any way, is a personal solicitation for votes, then I would prefer that you remove my entry from the contest, rather than this little rant. My intention is to drum up some more responses for the entire contest.
Thanks to all for your patience and participation,
Wayne
