Thank you for your reply, Greg. I really like it. I had read all your previous posts re. NARR and liked them too. You are a very kind/sweet person.
My feeling with this is that I think 'compromised' NGA members, that contribute actively with articles, pictures, gardening info, interesting threads, etc. (for which they earned their acorns) somehow deserve more being the winners of the prices than members that just visit from time to time, without being noticed.
Of course, none of us is able to 'sense' what a member asking for acorns is going through in 'real life' and what a difference these donations (that only provide 'the hope to win') can make in such persons current moment.
