As the offending poster:


Syzygy had nothing to do with the creation of the site or the competition.

I merely thought there might be people out there who would like to win

themselves some tickets to V2000, and forwarded on the link I had received

in all innocence.


For the record, I absolutely loathe spam and would never take part in such

an activity.  And I certainly wouldn't go spamming this list, à la just35 or

otherwise.  I shall simply keep any nice potential freebies to myself in

future :-)
