Hi Robert,

Thanks for reminding me. I have extracted the statistics I need and am now making numbered paper slips to do a drawing. This is slow because I thought it would be more automated, but I am having to do everything manually.

There are 290 contestants with a total number of posts of 6551 (and that's how many slips of paper there will be). Everyone is assigned a number so, for example, '1843' is #1 and will get 33 slips with that number on it since he had 33 posts. I'll put all the slips in a bucket and have the granddaughter of a co-worker draw a slip. Hopefully this next week.

- Carl
