  1. Collecting E-mail adresses? For spam? by wfberg · · Score: 3

    Wait.. I have to enter my own e-mail adresss, and the more other e-mail adresses I submit, the better my chances of winning? So they want to collect e-mail adresses? What for? I can see only one purpose, and it's not legitimate.. It's called SPAM.

    yech!

      Well, this was put together kind of hastily... :(

      You have my assurances as both an engineer at Everyone.net, and a good friend of the individual whose brainchild this contest is...

    geez... no thanks. I'd rather keep my friends than win a robot dog.
    You can enter to win AIBO and its performer kit by telling everyone you know how Everyone.net makes web sites stronger with free email, discussion boards, chat and search.
    and
    Hurry over to Everyone.net (http://www.everyone.net) and enter to win a new Sony AIBO ERS-111. (I'm entering right now.) It's really cool! Sony only made 10,000 last month and has already sold out so this is your last chance to get one without spending over $5,000 at eBay.

  5. Nah, there are better things to win by / · · Score: 3

    like a free dinner from the Warsaw Marriott.

    Or a free pair of Adistar Wrestling shoes.

    Or a free personal electronic caddy

    Or a free set of shafts (you never know when yours will break, wink wink, nudge nudge)

    Or a free WebTV (Ok, so that one's not so good)

    Or a free Wave keyboard

    Hmmm. I take it back. An AIBO is best after all.
