I'm getting close to 5,000 posts on these the Collector Forums.
If you can guess the date on which my 5,000th post appears, you could win a Harbour Lights Blue Legacy Dealer Sign from my closet extras.

To enter the contest, TorchBearer has agreed to accept responses and disqualify himself.

Enter your guess in the SUBJECT Line, not in the body of the message. (If your date is NOT in the subject line, you will not be entered in the contest.)

Only one guess per person! You can't change your date once made.

In the event of more than one person guessing the correct date, Tim will put all the names in a hat and have a quick drawing to determine the one winner.

I won't answer questions on how often I post because I don't know. 0 :>)

Better have a deadline here, John or you'll have a whole bunch waiting to see when you hit 4,999!

Yeah John, Mombo beat me to the question below!

When is the deadline?!!!!

OK - your guess must be in by Jan 25 at midnight eastern time - Friday.

Okay everyone, the votes have been casted and tallied. Once John has reached that major mile marker of 5000 posts, we will announce the winner. My thanks to all who voted.

Hey T.B., inquiring minds want to know - how many people voted?

Hey - didn't think about what might happen if it's a date no one picked.

Last date guessed without going past the date.

Yea, Tim, how many guesses?

Thats just my luck! Always a day late and a dollar short. I don't know how I missed this post. But I just read it, and it't too late.

Don't feel bad, Steph, I just read this subject for the first time myself. Now there is two of us that are a day late and a dollar short.

Sorry Folks -- time for guesses is OVER. You are out. No more guesses.

At the rate you are starting off today, John.... I would say the winner may come by Tuesday!!

The total number of guesses reached 26 as of midnight, Friday, January 25. Thanks to all who participated.
