"Yes, you are correct he didn't post on Seabreeze as quite a few people didn't. We figured not everyone would want give there contact details on the forum.

1. Post your ideas on this thread.
That's right ..THE VERY FIRST CONDITION OF ENTRY!
Given that the name Windforce WAS posted by Slowboat (Chris Lockwood)on the 6/6/2006 (windsurfing mirror post)I think it is a bit rich to give it to someone who has never posted on Seabreeze let alone on that thread. It lacks any semblance of transparency. How do we know
that Erlend is not a mate or perhaps even a fictitious character. Even assuming he does exist and assuming he isn't a mate (which only you know)how do we know he didn't just rip-off a name that he had already seen posted on this thread (as you required). Maybe that's why he didn't post. The reason you gave doesn't wash as "erland " posted his first post after "winning" the comp with someone else's posted suggestion.
The comp for the name was a nice idea... but the way you carried it out sucks.
