I wrote down each name on a slip of paper. Each person had their name written down one time per entry they had. For example BarbH had her name written down 10 times.
I then added all the slips of paper to a hat and shook it for a while to make sure they were thoroughly mixed. I then drew one slip of paper without looking and the winner is:

Congrats and thank you all for your participation in the contest. We will have a new Tunze prize for this month and another cool contest I will announce shortly. I wish you all could win I really do.
I am going to send the TOP 5 members on the list a FREE R2R Aquarist T-Shirt and Card for your extra hard work in making the top five. Please PM me your name and shipping info.
Congrats strange. It's funny you were able to use the computer to run a program to assign points and track posts. Then you wrote down names and pulled from a hat. Kinda funny to me. But thanks for the contest R2r and tunze for their sponsorship.
LOL! Yea that is funny isn't it. I could have have done it via copying and pasting names to a sheet and then use a number generator but when there is multiple entries for one person like this I use the old tried and true method!
God knows I will be honest and the first person picked will get the prize. My integrity is my Gold.
Okay. Silly question. Does strange know that he was in the contest? Has he claimed yet? I looked through this thread and there wasn't a post made by him. I know that wasn't a requirement, but it's possible to be very active and not know about this...
Congratulations to strange33w, to Rev and for Tunze for a great contest and to all the t shirt winners and a special congratulation to Barb for getting what seemed like 1 million posts in 1 week. Lol I don't know how you did it.
