    the difference in posters and responses
    the one in the link uses a different forum mainly but gets slightly slagged off when she asks for some help although she contributes to the board
    on this one a lurker who hasn't contributed anything to the board and gets loads of praise

    :confused::confused:

    Praise? You call that praise! I call it congratulations.

    Let's face it, the guy won, can't say fairer than that. So he lurks. AFAIC, so what? I bet he don't give a stuff. He's not asking for help, he's just telling us he won and say thanks to Cat, which to me is fair enough.

    You may not like it, but people who lurk on here probably win all the time. You can't really tell someone how they should go about comping. By the law of averages, they're just as likely to win as someone who contributes a little or a lot. If you can't handle that, then comping is probably not for you.

    Well done SWDON. One day, it will be mine! ;)

    I really don't understand why Gimgin always makes moral judgements about people and how they do competitions. I seem to remember you slating other compers on the Nikon Britian comp because according to you they were selfish. Perhaps you should try & be a little more tolerant, some people may have less time to contribute than others.
