    For those that can't enter for various reasons why doesnt one kind MSE Comper compile a list with peoples details and then enter them each hour, that way there would be a bigger chance of having an MSE winner!

    Good idea,Comping Rich

    The fatal flaw is that we would have to give our personal details to a unknown person :-)
    Address,phone number etc
