And think of the lost revenue on the winner's writings. Certainly there will be some of that due to delayed publicity. Not to mention that you then have to share the spotlight with the winner from next year rather than standing alone by yourself. Plus there are the four alsorans who have to wait another whole year to find out that they've lost this year. Not fair on them either.
