I guess not even a topic that I'm GIVING 2 bowling balls away is immune from a bashing. As Elk would tweet-#fukme
Somebody once said something about not being able to please all of the people all of the time.
I wouldn't worry too much about the users who deride you for a MORE than generous offer. People like that probably wouldn't have appreciated it, even if they had won.
Most of the reasonable people here understand what you are doing, and I GREATLY applaud you for coming here and having these "contests", GIVING AWAY TOTALLY FREE BOWLING BALLS!
Thank you for your efforts, and PLEASE, don't let the naysayers drag you down, because your efforts ARE appreciated.
