I think I posted every day since I first saw the announcement, but that was after the one post a day rule went into effect.
I think there should be lesser prizes like monoculars, straps, cases, Zen Ray hats (is there such an animal?), lens cleaners, etc. so that there are more chances to win something.
That's how they hook you with the state lotteries. You will probably never hit the Big One, but you might win $10 in the scratch cards (I won $20 once, and it was the first time I played).
It keeps up your enthusiasm, and keeps you playing. But this way, you post, nothing happens or even worse, the poster above you wins, and then you have to take out your earmarked copy of Norman Vincent Peale's The Power of Positive Thinking and give it another read.
I'm rooting for the Prime ED, not just for myself, but for all people out there who can't afford an alpha (or can afford one but don't think they are worth the high price), because what the world needs now is not another 2K alpha but The People's Bin. Good quality optics at a price that doesn't require taking out a second mortgage on your depreciated home.
