    :nono draws are not acceptable! As many rounds as necessary until the KO! If the poll closes and it's still a draw, the organiser of the event (moi);) picks the winner! Tough and unfair!:lol:

    We have already begun a small-scale promotion in the MMA section. Soon, we will take over the fight biz!

    We'd need to steer clear of the Congressional commissions, though...good thing that this conversation is just between the two of us.

    Yeah, but Rummy is very corruptable, so, let them bug us if they want! If he makes a fuss, we'll get him in front of the Un-American Activities Committee on trumped-up charges!

    I'm guessing that all of us who entered pieces don't want to vote for ourselves. 'Twould be rather unsportsmanlike.

    Well, I would have voted for my piece had I thought it was the best, but I didn't, so I haven't. I expected others would vote too, not just participants...:-( ...and in fact not even all those who entered have voted in what is after all a secret poll.

    Shall we end the vote now? Or shall we wait until it expires? Chances are you win anyway!:D
