The post that was quoted here has been removedImpression was that you were considering flexibility along with the possible merit of an impromptu, contemporaneous work
and that the technical/administrative effort required might possibly become a reason to decline accepting it as a valid entry.

The post that was quoted here has been removedFrom the two posts which followed its submission. "That's only 346 words." reply from Hopscotch didn't seem to loom as a major obstacle since our dialogue was still continuing. Your "Read the thread in the Culture Forum. It has the rules of entry. I'll look forward to receiving it." seemed less than an outright rejection of the novel idea. Unanswered question was whether or not you would be willing to help me with the technical/administrative task involved. Figured you must have lost interest since you made no further comment and since your thread was allowed to wander off topic and, a few days later, disappeared from page one.

The post that was quoted here has been removedOf course it is TRUE!
Why do you try to deny the "Friends Group"?
You have no idea what ability I have so don't assume things. You have a bad habit of doing that.
Of course You do not throw ANY dig, insult, or troll yourself...ROFLMAO...
Pot, Kettle ='s Black!
Will you not be happy untill all you have left in the forums is the "Friends Group", and all the YES boys & girls?

The post that was quoted here has been removedI was also wondering about this bit.
@GB:
As CFT says, I'm not his mouthpiece. CFT is the organiser of this prose competition. My post replying to your lengthy post was a mere wisecrack. You cannot seriously expect us to consider forum posts as entries for the competition. The entrants for the competition are anonymous until the competition is over to avoid any voter bias. If your thingy was entered then everyone would know it was you and that would affect the voting. Anonymity in this thing has been the key to its success from the very beginning. If you really want to enter, and I do believe that you have the capacity to write something good if you put your mind to it, then please do so, but if you won't play by the rules then you're not welcome.
It's not technical at all, just write something and email it. I'm sure you know how to do that.

A small question: In what ways does the 2010 RHP Prose Competition's procedural anonymity theme (short term) with its required email address disclosure to an ad hoc group protect/not violate a subscriber's contractual rights of privacy (long term)?

After reading that I'm wondering why I bother to explain things to you in the first place.
