POC FAQ
Q. Do I need to put anything in the body of the email/ make a guess on the item?
A. Nope. It's just that easy- correct subject line (or close enough variation), everything else is gravy.

Q. How are you picking the winners?
A. Nothing too fancy- I wait til the end of the hour and let Outlook catch up. I eliminate any ineligible emails (not within the correct time, not the right subject) and then determine how many I have. I use a random number generator to choose between 1 (the first received email) and however many responses I got.

Q. What's that release your rules are mentioning?
A. You are wise to be suspicious of legalese. It's basically so we can get confirmation you agreed to the terms & conditions (linked above), the most harrowing of which is that we want to post your name in this thread.

Q. So what happens if you don't hear back from the winner?
A. We're giving everyone this week until 9/17 to respond. If they do not by then, we have all eligible emails saved and we'll redraw likely with a shorter time to respond to that email.

Q. How much do you want to smack all the people who are emailing you beyond the time limit you've provided?
A. You don't even know.

That is an invitation to abuse. I don't know if I mean it as a verb or a noun.

The problem with taxes and junk then comes into play. Right now in order to do giveaways we need to stick to what's already been set up by Amazon & Facebook, but certainly our international friends are a consideration in the future.

Do we get any sort of "no-reply" type email confirming successful entry? I guess I just want to make sure my email went through. I guess I could do a read receipt, but that only works if (a) my email was opened, and (b) woot's crappy email server supports it.
