Thank you Trevor.  Your fresh perspective has hopefully allowed all of us to
take another look at the sticker contest.  I think it is a shame that the
party got spoiled.

Heck, call me selfish, but I just wanted to be able to buy a few hundred
stickers and pass them out to all the Vanagons that I come across.  (There's
probably 800 just here in Santa Barbara)

The sticker contest debacle would have never happened, of course, if the
list was run as a dictatorship.  Or should we elect a Prime Minister?...
Anoint a Monarch?

Let's get the sticker contest back on track!  Too much work went into it to
let it just die...
