Hi,
I'm sorry but I'm bailing out, it's my philosphy not to keep working on a contest while my ranking keeps dropping. It's just a simple math from experience, the extra work won't pay off. Besides that, I feel that my initial idea is being copied by others in terms of layout, and that's not fair game in my opinion. Since I don't feel I will be winning this contest (and get paid for it) I'll stop my efforts. nevertheless, good luck with the contest!
gr. Peter
