Just a suggestion, Dave: How about another draw from those who were left out - for an EEVBlog BM235?
I like the sound of that. I'll do it on my 2nd channel.
That's very kind of you Dave.
As I posted in the other thread over at contests and give-aways: congratulations to all the winners. I don't want to see the contest re-drawn. I know that my small let-down after looking forward to the possibility of winning the scope will be completely dwarfed by the huge disappointment felt by the winners if the original result is withdrawn.
The entire give-away has opened my eyes to all the stuff the can plague these sorts of contests, actually. When I was a kid I used to snort at the legalese on the back of cereal boxes every time they had a competition. But seeing all the differing opinions on how to do the draw, how to judge valid entries, when to start it, when to end it, who to open it to - and even the constant complaining from people
during the live draw, I can completely see why there's a lot of fine print surrounding these sorts of things. You're a much more patient man than me, Dave
