    Today, I am gonna begin with a few facts about my country, India's major export - Bollywood. Here we go.

    You know that you have already won, right ?

    You mean, as an Indian with Bollywood, we have won, or I have won the giveaway on this thread?
    If it's the latter, I am pretty sure, I am not even close, bro. Last time you needed to have 7K comments. This time, I wager, I will need atleast 10K to be in the game. And, even that might be a close shave. I might be totally off here. But, I should trust you cause you have been in the game for too long.
    Seriously, you think, I could get the laptop, even if I slack off for the next few days?

    Yes, IMO you don't need to go 100% of the time. Get well ahead. Take a day off here and there, stay in the lead, and just keep at least 1,000 between you and the number two guy and you should be fine. Be prepared to run hard the last 24 hours because that is when people will really make their move. Or you can get so far ahead that everyone else just gives up, but I don't think that is going to work this time because of the other prizes.

    @remy - As a side note I have been a customer of RackNerd for quite a while. Their VMs are good, their customer service is great, and I don't have any issues with them. So if it comes through as if I support them, I'm not surprised, as they have given me no reason not to.

    I agree I'm a customer since 2020 .
    I'm satisfied.

    That said, I'm not a fan of this type of thread. If all the other providers did the same, there'd be no community. Just a list of offers whose visibility depends on the quality of the prizes to be won.

    That's just my opinion.
    Having said that, I don't mind because it's easy enough to avoid them at the moment.
    I came of my own free will :p

    I think that is the idea. There are only really two of these threads a year. So it really should not be an issue for people who do not like this kind of thing. I get that it is not everybody's cup of tea. As an example, I normally do not participate in drama threads, it's not my thing, but I have no worries about drama threads taking over LET. There is plenty of variety here for everyone to find something they like.

    I don't think that's a fair comparison.
    There's no money to be made in dramas, which are more about money lost.

    Here we're talking about visibility and therefore money. All providers want the same visibility as racknerd.

    But anyway. The initial question was innocent

    I just need some time for my wrist to reset. Have been having these weird twitches and pain. I have done copy pasting in the past, but, not as much as I've had to do in this giveaway.
    I try to not post and take rest, but, then, like for example, yesterday, I was on my laptop, and it froze for a minute every time I copied a fact. That reminded me of why I have to be in the lead for this.
    But, you are right. I will have to take some rest. WIll try my best, but not guarantees.

    We are just having a conversation. I have no issue with you asking questions, or stating your opinion. That is what forums are for in my mind.
