Keeping our Clark's spirit alive in the competition.

[Anthony Adam]

Please read this after the reveal, it's an old post which I am re-linking on behalf of Clark who couldn't commit to judging this year.

Everything he says is as true today as then.

It's just like Clark to miss potentially the best year yet, so take the time to pop in here and give him a friendly wave, let him know he's missed.

And a quote from a latter post in the same thread...

"It's all good. :) Just a friendly reminder from me. And the reason the reminder is necessary is that it is human nature from an enthusiastic group such as this to want to get to work right away. I appreciate that. Which is what leads me to post the gentle reminder every year (and I have done it every year I think)."

So don't worry Clark, a proxy repeat is now made in your name so you can keep your 100% posting ;)

Missed having you here Clark. Hope you can make it back in to the same degree as before sometime in the future. :)

I've removed some posts. Let's respect Clark's privacy (although obviously we sympathize with him) and focus on the sentiment of his 2013 post: let today be for the winners, don't start the "please critique my item" comments until tomorrow.

Thanks!

Well said Sean.

Also, If my jocular post is in bad taste in anyway, please accept my humble apologies - I wasn't aware and totally respect you all.

Anthony, your post is great, I just wanted to bleep out the other stuff and replies to it. :)

Anthony (and Clark), this is a really great reminder. To everyone who made it, congratulation!

Well said - let's make Clark proud, Keep it civil, and lets have some sportsmanship and cheer for the winners.
