Bubba, I think Richtee meant "throwdown", not competition.
Grothe, this was just for fun and everyone doesn't have to play in order for it to be fun or serve a purpose. If everyone did the throwdown, and posted all the stuff, we would still be reading about it.
Different strokes for different folks. I personally think 35 entries is excellent, and alot of them are newbies, thats a bonus, and may be the real intention of the throwdown. I read your post that you linked above, and I don't agree,
Your quote:
Where was all the partcipation? All I read this past week was how "it use to be". I haven't been here long enough to know what that is suppose to mean...... but someone stepped up to the plate and tried to get everyone together in a common cause, even if it was just for fun, and where is everybody???? The next time you have a gripe - Keep it to yourself!!!!! Us newbies Don't want to hear it .

I think you are speaking for yourself, not all newbies, and apear to be doing some *****ing of your own. I agree though that everyone is entitled to their opinions.Please don't jump down peoples thrats for not wanting to play.
I didn't participate in the throwdown for various reasons, and I mentioned it in the thread. I did however participate in the voting, its the least I could do. I also thing that BBQG did a fine job of orchestrating the event, and even had some outstanding, if not winning fatties of her own.
