To those who have complaints about the new rules that Edo has established, Edo has surely noted them, but I for one feel that the new rules should be given a chance before you dismiss them. How is that stonewalling? What I am doing is respecting the new rules that have been set forth by the founder of the EDO Photo Contest.

As to whether I deserve to be a judge, I am glad that it is not up to Ausblade to decide. I have already told the other two judges (and Rhett) that if they feel I do not deserve to be a judge, or if it'd be inappropriate for me to be in such a role, that I would gladly step out.
