ARGH! Stupid clicker! Meant to add a preface:
I entered an online contest, the winner of which will possibly
get a pub contract with a major company.
I know I stand 0 chance of winning, but if you would vote for me
it sure would make me feel better when I lose. (-:
Links, etc below. THANKS SO MUCH!
It’s official!

to
compromise the outcome of the contest we will take appropriate actions
