As much as IB will hate this news, the winner of February's drawing is B3Freak. I slapped my computer twice, but the results did not change.

Congrats, Bobby!

If anyone's curious about the exhaustive scientific methodology used to determine winners: I enter every active member with 1 or more posts during the drawing month into an Excel spreadsheet, ordered from most recent poster to least recent poster. I use the RANDBETWEEN function to select a random number between 1 and the total number of contestants for the month; the row that corresponds to the randomly-generated number wins the prize.

Thank you, Dallas and all my 996 Outpost brethren.

It's good to know that this place hasn't lost it's sense of humor and camaraderie.

I'm pleased to accept this token of your appreciation (whatever that may be). :D :lol:

Might I recommend the $ find . -username 'Dr_Strangelove (whew!)' command?
