Honestly, I had not thought about it until you raised it as an issue. I think that a moderator should not be able to participate. However, I am happy to let you guys step down as moderators and join the contest. It would not be fair to ask you not to be able to participate as you, Julie and Peggy Sue just started moderating at the time I announced the contest. I do think, however, that it would look odd if a moderator won the contest. You know, "the fix is in" and all that.
