You don't have to vote. That's your choice but you miss the point. Going at large is just as doing this. At least this way the girls entry is paid and I highly doubt that she will spend near on her "votes" as she would going at large. I'd rather put work into doing it this way than not trying at all and going at large. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
