.......As a recent example of why we need to be diligent, we even had someone try to derail NVE's doorprize by placing an "anonymous" call to the local police telling them we had an "illegal raffle" happening at NVE... Amazing. They reviewed what we were doing, and actually stood there to be sure every technicality was followed, and of course deemed it legal... It's the world we live in. But at least it demonstrates we pass scrutiny because we do our homework.
So Angleiron, we'd love to, just can't! : )
