NEW TWIST: READ: Contest: Can you Guess The Date and Time (EST) the Iantiqueonline.com Editor Will Welcome the 3000th Member ? Members Who Guessed Weeks Before Are Better Off Than Procrastinators

[C. Dianne Zweig Editor's Desk]

Contest: Can you Guess The Date and Time (EST) The Iantiqueonline.com Editor Will Welcome the 3000th Member ? We are at All Members (2,685) at the time of this post.

As Editor of Iantiqueonline.com, I send each new member a welcome letter soon after they join. We soon will be approaching 3000 members. Can you guess the date and time (EST) that I will welcome the 3000th member?

CREDIT will be given to the member who guesses the correct answer farthest away from the end of the contest. Therefore, if you are closest to the correct answer and you guessed in August, you are in better shape than the person who got the correct answer but guessed in October.
The winner closest to the correct date and time will be acknowledged with a gift.

The contest is open to all members of the site. Previous winners can try again. Members can guess no more than three times.. The contest ends when the Editor posts the official Editor welcome letter.
The webmaster uses information officially recorded on his records.

Dianne: You ought to let every member have 1 vote, but then give them 10 more votes for every new member they sign up. Otherwise some bored person with nothing to do is going to submit guesses for every hour of every day from today thru Next year.
Oops, it looks like somebody has already begun to cast multiple guesses.

Tom,, we'll compromise,,,,,,I edited the post to say "Members can guess no more than three times."

will that work? Dianne

[tomsantiquesetcetera]

If I guess a day and time and it comes and passes and I do not win can I delete my post and have 3 more guesses?

[tomsantiquesetcetera]

You need to amend your answer to my question above (Tom, members can guess as many times as they wish! Dianne) or delete (terminate) your answer. If you will, I will.
