Let me clarify some things with you all.  Gina is more than capable of keeping track of the bows, we have Don's notes on how he did BOM and we have spoken with him.  The reason Gina has yet to introduce herself is because Don was completing the BOM contest for May.  We only asked you to send her the bows, so that she could make sure that nothing got left out.  It was a checks and balances for us and for you all.  I had hope you all would have been supportive of her before casting any stones in her direction.

Hi, Gina. I hope you don’t feel stones were being tossed your way from me. I was going on Sarah’s message that the way the contest would run after Don left was for bow makers to have to send entries to you. Her words seem very clear.

“If you would like to have your bow in consideration for BOM for June and all future months, please email her the link to the topic in which you have posted regarding your bow.”

The contest would have languished eventually if that were the case. It’s good to see the magazine committed to continuing this tradition. Best of luck to you, and clearly, you have folks here willing to help keep it thriving.

And then I further explained it all by telling you all that the reason we did it, was so that we didnt miss anything.

Hey guys,

No need to apologize, I am pretty thick-skinned so don't worry too much about me. And thanks for the support. I can't wait to see all the bows that are submitted for this month!

Yes you did, Sarah. 19 days later, on page 7 of this thread, and not before.

Welcome aboard, Gina. We're a bunch of grumpy old farts, but we're not really dangerous. ;D
