      Hope I don't get kicked out. I accidentally hit "back" and then "refresh" (trying to get back to the main MC page) after i registered and got a big stop sign saying I had already registered. I don't want to lose my one-in-100,000 chance of winning that beautiful mandolin!

      When it says you've already entered then your email address has already been entered--it's as simple as that. We finally tired of people hitting the back button and re-registering with the same information dozens of times--thus disqualifying themselves--repeatedly, so a little programming took care of that, like we couldn't see them engaging in that.

      This takes care of that issue so people don't disqualify themselves at their own hand. Not that they won't try other ways which we can also see.

      So to answer the question you may still have, when you see that alert that there's already a record of you registering, that second attempt and any thereafter that might generate that notice are not recorded as a valid entry.

      How many of us are there? Or do lots of people who aren’t Cafe members enter these? Just wondering.

      Congratulations to Greg D. in Pennsylvania, winner of our Pava A5 Pro Mandolin. Just heard from Greg a few minutes ago and he asked if it was an April Fool's joke. It is not! Good story associated with Greg and up to him if he wishes to share it. I think we have a very good match.

      Our thanks to the good folks at Pava for their generous support of the mandolin community.
