Hanford,
I’ll be happy to explain how the backend works, this seems like a situation that is usually handled by a backend buyout. It’s not some new concept I made up, it’s really not that unusual in many artistic endeavors. And I’d be happy to address all your inquiries as well including any questions or clarifications after the fact. I’ll try and post tomorrow night, its coming up on 3:00 and I have other writing to do yet tonight. Stay tuned, I can support this position and it is motivated by genuine respect for the many fine artists who frequent this site which you so generously provide. In fact as a gesture of good fait I will subscribe if you will consent to accepting my subscription fee. Besides if you don’t end up giving me the boot I plan on sticking around as I rather enjoy the local events and it seems the right thing to do, (subscribe that is.) I know I’m a bit snippy but it appears I’m not alone in this, seems someone’s got a bur in his saddle. And if ya would rather just drop it altogether that’s fine too, just let me know if ya want an explanation or just want me to knock it off. BTW I’m sure there are people who will still want in on the contest, just as there are always actors to do nonunion film for free just to get their chops. I’d rather see someone who has invested in his skill get a fair paying gig, but hey that’s just me. Someone already said to me, “hey you do the fun part”, Its not as easy as it looks. I reviewed the design criteria and I couldn’t design six quality designs in an evening, and I design all day every day. Design is hard work, real work, its not a lark. And I think that it has a real value. I simply believe the price being suggested is not in line with value of commercial design.

The sun’ll come up tomorrow,
Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow,
There’ll be SUUUUUUUUN….
