Recent postings from Katherine Van Deusen Irvine (and her cousin "Van"s) got me inspired. So, I am pleased to announce the First Annual Fake George Irvine Contest. The winner of this contest will receive $100 cash. The winner will be the person who most successfully imitates George Irvine in a post to cavers, techdiver, or the rebreather list, as judged by a select team of individuals with long familiarity with George's unique posting style - in other words, everybody. To keep it fair, and in the spirit of GIIII himself, the person, or group of people, who shout the loudest that a particular candidate should be the winner will be allowed to skew the vote. Yeah, it's all a bit fuzzy, but it's my hundred bucks after all, so I get to make the rules, and its bound to be funny. To enter, just make a convincing George Irvine look-alike post to any of these lists. The contest will be judged sometime in a couple of weeks when it looks like most of the entries are in, and/or the thread starts getting old. To win, your post must have a valid email address. Posts from safari.net and juno.com will be accepted, but will be treated extra critically. Sorry, no posts from Hotmail accounts (or their generic free-email equivalents) will be accepted. Let the spoofing BEGIN! -Will -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'. Send subscribe/unsubscribe requests to `techdiver-request@aquanaut.com'.
