Mellygrl- Well that gives credence to the rest of us who have voiced suspicions about such things taking place . Even if it isn't against the rules IMHO it's childish and tacky behaviour- I recently queried challenge/contest voting methods in another forum and was told they are put to the 'public' first before any 'official'judges precisely to avoid cheating. Canvasing for votes in any manner perhaps should be re-looked at, its hardly 'fair and square' even if not rule breaking. And has definately put a number of people off entering contests. PS-Randym77- that IS one creepy pic ! Exactly why I'm a city slicker, its too scary out there in the country-side .
