Default Group Buy Poll

In trying to speed the group buy process up I have a question that I would like to poll. I would be the one to insert our numbers and the software would pick one by random. So in the poll question I would be the Admin in question.

Well I will admit I voted yes. I think that the process as it is was a tad slow in my case? I dunno just IMHO, Beale.

I agree that it would be better to use a software program to do the drawing. There would also need to be more than 1 person to do the administrative parts of it. If one got sick, had a family emergency or other such catastrophe that kept them from fulfilling the job, the other one(s) could take over. This was the case with the last drawing, Tony got sick and this delayed the drawing of the winner. As long as the program is non selective I think admin should be able to join in the fun as well. By this I mean that there would be no way that anyone could "cheat the system"(not saying anyone would).

I voted YES although won't be joining in on group buys it makes sense to have the software and allow Greg to join in.

Yup! I also agree that Greg should be able to enjoy the rewards of such a group buy. He puts so much into this, so why shouldn't he be able to win!!
