I HATE to do this, but I must since an injustice has been done.
I HATE to do this, but I must since an injustice has been done. Zemlin deserves the full points for his answer to question seven becuase freaky's and mike's posts were edited. Freaky started with a very long but correct post - he must have missed the length requirement. - then he edited his post and cut it down to 17 words. Finally, he edited it again to become the answer that stands now. Freaky, please forgive me for this, but Zem really does deserve the points. I hope you aren't disqualified, but I think you won second prize last time if I remember correctly so I guess it's not so bad.
Mike, I owe you one, so here it goes: Mike's answer that stands now is actually his fourth, and it is also 21 words long. It doesn't show that it has been edited since two of the changes were deletions. Also, the third change was an edit, but if you edit directly after you've made a post, the 'last edited' message does not show. This is also why Freaky's post only shows that it was edited one when in fact it was edited twice.
Mike, I hope since were even now we can be friends. Forgive me, but again this just isn't fair.
It's true, I did correct my word count. It's also true that the
It's true, I did correct my word count. It's also true that the edited versions were still the third answer, long before zemlin's post. It's true as well that I did already win a vmp in the last contest. If what I've done is deemed unfair, so be it, it's been fun and part of me would rather someone who doesn't own a Sebatron wins this anyway...

I knew my post was late, but since things like numbers, third (valid?) post, etc were a little vague I thought I'd post something anyway.
