p.s. I think allowing contest entries during a period as long as two weeks is a bad idea, but I don’t make the rules.
Perhaps.
But does it really make a difference?
Given that the top contenders (up over 135% this year) handily out pace the rest of the pack, it makes no difference IMO.
For most of us it is fun and gives us a chance to be charitable to an organization that we likely would never think about.

It is astonishing what foolish things one can temporarily believe if one thinks too long alone ... where it is often impossible to bring one's ideas to a conclusive test either formal or experimental. J.M. Keynes
