    There's 330 posts but how many are from unique users?
    also If we're perfectly honest how many of us actually have the funds right now?
    I think the odds are a bit better than 1 in 11.
    I would guess at closer to 1:3 or 1:4
    I have funds standing by and sincerely hope I can get one...

    If not I'll just have to call Lynn up and cuss him out as I order one of his other Livis...

    _ratliff,

    You're absolutley right about the likelihood of the post count being greater than the number of individual posters. I, for one, must have at least a dozen assinine comments on the group buy and perhaps as many pithy observations. Why, adding it all up, that may put me right at the top of the heap. Just to be on the safe side, I guess I will just have to continue offering sage comment.

    Thanks for the help

    Hey, does anyone know if Lynn sharpens Norelco blades? ----Just kidding

    +1, but with my luck on such things, the odds would need to be WAY better than 1:3

    By example, I was at a Boston Computer Society meeting in the 90's when Philip Kahn (then CEO of a large software company named Borland) spoke and gave away enough software that 80% of the people attending won something..... I was the only person within 40 feet who came away empty (interesting talk though).

    I disagree with a drawing. Why not just select the first 30 people that showed interest when this thread was posted weeks ago? I have been dying to get my hands on a Maestro since I started straight shaving and it would be unfair for those that showed interest on this group buy since day one. Look what happens everytime there is a drawing for a giveaway. There is mysterioulsy an increase by dozens of new members that get their names in on the boards, wait to hear if they won, and never post again.

    Say Bruce, perk up and fight the urge to feel so pithy.

    I agree with your sentiment, especially since I am in that top 30... But it's up to Lynn to figure out how to get these out...
    He could just as easily limit entry into the buy by setting certain rules, like minimum post count, or the user must show that he's contributed to the community...
    I'm glad I don't have to be the one who sets the rules.

    Maybe Lynn should raffle off the razors... $300 per ticket, 2 ticket maximum per member... with the extra funds going to SRP... boy wouldn't that be fun???

    There's no way to please everybody.

    I prefer the square scales.
    Love the olive wood.
    Love the blade selection.
    Now, just waiting to find out how to get one!
