# You've no chance of stemming the tide
This contest, perhaps more than most, is bound to be crammed with reposts and tenuous entries. You might as well forget about it, enjoy every post, and revel in those few that rise to the top.

# hmmmmm
wallow in mistakes, reposts and minor irritation, or try and get people to use their brains, advance the level of b3ta evolution and make people happy as a result? decisions, decisions.

# You mean Harper Lee?
Sorry, I'll stop it now.

Great book.

# wow, I'm glad you caught that one.
What the hell is going on in my head today to make me mistype "Lee" as "Lenn"?

P.s. don't stop, it's the only way I'll learn.

# Lee

# Now you see
'glas' is clearly just a typo of 'glad', so I'm not going to comment on that.

# I guess what I mean is
When I saw this was the compo I thought "oh joy, /board's going to be crammed with reposts and people not bothering to read the brief". Then I saw a few of the better entries and decided "oh sod it, life's too short to care about such minor things".

On the other hand, I'm a relentless pedant when it comes to English, despite the fact that hardly anyone takes notice, so perhaps I'm a hypocrite too.

# Hypocrisy is a beautiful thing.
Anyway, it's the same every week. If people want there to be challenges then it's just something that needs to be accepted.
