Now it is here and we have started WWIII and feelings are hurt and those that will enter still will, and those that have no trees worthy of this kind of event will continue to watch. So why all the fuss.

A couple of minor points here.
1. As you yourself has pointed out on many occasions posting to this (or any forum) might bring up comments on the postings. One may or may not like those comments but then that is the nature of a DISCUSSION forum. You post and people respond.
2. No real WW3 here. Differing opinions Yes. Questions asked. Yes.
Most of my questions were answered. And answered in a civil manner. Actually I received some answers that have made me do some thinking about the contest. Could be it ain’t such a bad thing. Still need some convincing that is a worthwhile endeavor but I am open to discussion on that
But by posting to a public forum one must know that there will be comments made. Not all people will like your posting. Some will tell you so. Others will just bite the bullet and keep their mouth shut.
Big thing is that if you post expect a response. You don’t have to agree, you can get mad, you can argue your point of view. But you can’t just expect no response.
You just have to deal with that possibility.
No response means that nobody gave a hoot about what was posted.
