The ONLY one who see these raffles as cynically as this is you. Your cynicism and condescending attitude, however thinly veiled, show through clearly. The mods and plant admins have been nothing short of helpful to you in getting all your entries into their proper place. If you somehow feel that is not the case I am truly sorry that we fell short of your expectations. But I'm not going to sit back and watch you accuse (and that IS what you are doing, we can all read) Dave or NGA of somehow depriving you of what you seem to think is your rightfully owed prize for your contributions. You clearly have some sort of misconception of how odds work. If there were 10 prizes and 11 people entered, each bought 1 ticket, but one bought 5000...the one that bought 5000 can still lose. It may not seem fair, but the nature of odds actually means it IS fair.

Robert,

I do not feel like there is any "rightfully owed prize for my contributions". I am simply irritated at myself for wasting time I could and should be spending on more important things... or more productive things.

As far as misconception about odds.... if you have read my comments you will see that I have been accurately talking about odds all along and saying they are not in my favor also that I need to make better choices. If this is not a perception I should ever conclude then please forgive me.

I am open to your advise on how I should be spending my time. 😊

(Thete are only 2 accusations I have made.
1- I have accused myself of not being more productive.
2- I have accused you of winning then smirking at someone who didn't. If that didn't happen then I have accused falsely and stand corrected.)
