I think, honestly, that I'm almost the only one to whom it seems to matter, really, to get our polling back.

I also think that without a small revolt by people other than just me, which I have not been able to inspire, our contests are not a priority to the administrators whose brains may not be wired to have a need for art.

I felt I owed it to the photographers whose photos are in abeyance, and to whom I owe the running of a contest, to make an effort to report a time estimate of when to expect it, and I stood on my head and gargled peanut butter but couldn't even get recognition of the question.

I also think, honestly, that polling will straggle in as an also ran in what has become undue time, and that I'll then run the contest for December, and you'll run "Seasons of Winter". I sure hope we don't have to skip that one!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Above all I think that if our efforts were important the polls would have been in place. Or that in their absence my questions would have been handled with the courtesy of an answer, or that by now apologies to all of us had been extended.

Yup.
I'm annoyed.
