In this case I am. I know I know I'm beating a dead horse so to speak, but I have been putting in for expo tags every couple to three years or so with no real thought to getting drawn for one of the primo tags I was putting my $5 in for. We're talking putting in $50 to $100 buck each time.
Over that time I also noted that there were lots of anti expo guys on this site and others that were very vocal. I paid them no mind and instead thought so what someone is going to draw the tags. Then last Thursday night I look to no surprise at my name being no where on the draw list. However; I like others do notice one name in particular which is no other than Heather Farrar. Now here is where I tell myself, I am done, I will no longer make the 10 hour roundtrip drive on a Saturday to validate my tags without even entering the expo. I'm done.
There is one reason...the powers that be that put on the expo are flirting with disaster. They know like most of us have or are now starting to learn that the expo draw is more who you know and have connections with than pure chance. For anyone that thinks Heather and others I'm told drawing as often as they do is just chance and luck are fools. SFW and their cohorts are spitting in the face of honest folks when they give a tag to Heather every other year.
Now I saw Founder chimed in last week and as the owner of this site said what he pretty much had to say, basically that there is no foul play, nothing to see here, etc...
At the end of the day, I look at this foolhardy enterprise much like I do the Nevada draw system- put in money, money, money to only come out with nothing or in Nevadas case put in hundreds each year to be able to draw when by the time you do, you could have purchased the tag. I digress.
I will not be putting in for the expo draw and wasting my time again.
