I won a Tee!

WOW and to think I almost missed the podcast!

From my Blog:

That is soo cool, after weeks of dedicating, countless forum posts (399 at this moment in time) and a few emails Ross wins a Buzz Out Loud tee.

Congrats, Ross! I would like to point out, however, that when rtemp was more vocal in the forums, I had nominated him for a t-shirt. Therefore, I'm afriad you were not the first to be nominated by a BOL community member. But hey, I'm glad you can finally say you won something and a Buzz tee is one heck of a prize!

What you get up to when you are bored.

(if each post takes 5 minutes to write, by 2025 Ross will have wasted 10 weeks posting in the forums!)
