- No, Paul's right! At least in my case. I got a letter from
- PCH, saying how I've achieved Finalist status by being a good little
- boy and sending in my forms. The thing is, though, that due to an
- unfavorable comparison between my expected winnings and the value of
- my time spent plastering the entry stub with foul-tasting sticky bits,
- I stopped sending my blank no-magazines-thank-you entries at least
- three years ago. If anyone's ever been dropped from a PCH propaganda
- blitz, it hasn't been me.
