For the love of kami, man, no offense, but have you any idea how much
traffic that this kind of thing has generated in the past? Have you
forgotten the adfic challenge? The one-syllable challenge? I haven't,
and I for one do NOT want my box filled up with hundreds of goofy joke
posts again.

If you want to run a challenge, PLEASE do it the sensible way:

1) Pose the challenge on the list, asking people to send their entries
DIRECTLY TO YOU.

2) Collect the entries that actually fit the challenge into a single
post. That way, those who aren't interested only have to hit delete
ONCE.
