Just and Aussi Joke! I am sure that, with the quality of your work, you would be up there in high contention as a winner, if not for this one, but in a near future one. That would mean that you would be obliged to do your best to run the next contest as well as you could as the host.

I know that you arevery busy with your other work and that means that, being host, would take time away dfrom that.

 

Having been host twice myself, and  realising how much time it takes, I have put mysef in your shoes, and decided that, even though you might possibly  be very pleased to win a challenge, it might not be in your best longterm interests. (You being me for the term of my supposition)

Consequently I felt a small joke in this regard might be slightly amusing.

Sorry about that!
