Drill competitions - is anyone else tentative? :o

My eyeballs are still burning from the 1st 'strange incident' of a comp link hack (or whatever it turns out to be) & I have the utmost sympathy for the innocent OPs

But I am now very tentative at entering any 'drill' comps :o
.........as I'm not sure how many more new images i can be exposed to and have MSE anything to reduce/iliminate the risk?

Is anyone else just a little bit cautious ?

    the one from the other night that maineblue created a thread about wasn't for a drill it was for a mirror with blue tooth speakers in.

    I'd be apprehensive about entering any comps on the self-build site but not about entering comps for drills in general

    I think the 1st one I saw was the cordless drill & me thinks the 'hacker' had fun with that idea.
    I have altered my thread title though as I know its happened on other threads.

    Thanks fire**fly & ikkle87 for your posts.
    I'm not a prude but I find myself thinking twice now before clicking (on certain comps) as some thing my little eyes don't need to see :eek:
