Bert is the only one I remember getting that many recently.

I wonder how many people will qualify via the 180-post rule.

I wonder whether any of the Threads will fill up {and how many of the 10-post qualifiers won't be able to find them}

I wonder how massive the final list will be -and what the odds will therefore be for each person.

I'd imagine they will be of the same sort of order of magnitude as the last couple of months...one in a few hundred. Pretty good odds for free.

As a matter of fact, I am.

Momma said so.

Actually, this month there are three ways to enter the "raffle"

(1) The top 20 posters {by count} in June and the top 20 posters {by count} in Jul were automatically entered. Because of duplicates, that automatically entered 26 persons

(2) Anyone not in (1) who posts 180 times during the month will be entered.

(3) Anyone not in (1) or (2) who posts 10 times during the month will have a chance to enter by posting in one of three three threads Adam starts; each thread will have 80 slots. As far as I can tell, you would qualify if you made a few more posts in the next two days ... so you may deserve this anyway if you get to work and make a few more posts.

Can we make it more complicated? Rules that can be explained 1,2,3 are for kids.

We can.

Rule 1: Those whose usernames contain the arrangement of letters 'd, a, d, i, p, e, n, t, a, k' are automatically disqualified...
