I did PM the (tentative) winner shortly after 9PM. It's not official until they accept the terms. Either they have a sense of suspense too, or they're just not on BLF. In either case, I'll give them a reasonable amount of time, exactly how long that is I won't say 
Darn, I was hoping I won. :'(
Congratulations to the winner! 
And thanks to TheShadow for a very fun giveaway! 
Oh yeah forgot to say 
!
Congrats to weiser701 !!!
I would like to leave you all with one final thought. This contest was to guess my original username. Not my main or current username. And not anyone elses who might have been involved. And I have multiple browsers and two computers, so when I'm online is useless. All of which means that The Shadow could be ANYONE, and may or may not have acted alone. So the ONLY one you can be sure of is yourself!
Thanks to all who participated!
I know who it was. :P
This was a lot of fun! Just participating was a blast. I'm glad we could all work like a team. Thanks mystery member!
This thread belongs in the unofficial BLF Hall of Fame 8)
Very true the generosity of the mystery member(who I now know who is :P) is amazing.
Classic thread, great read, congrats Shadow and the winner on the contest!
Happy Memorial Day
Congrats to winner!
Now, I can finally take a nap... 0523 here 8)
That was fun. I knew it is either in your face or way off base.
Congrats weiser and shadow for an epic giveaway thread.
Well I guess it wasn't Reflection, trying to atone for his sins...
Great giveaway!
Congrats to the winner! Thanks to TheShadow!
I'm gonna miss this thread. It was a good one.
woo hoo - I won
No I didn't! Wish I did!
Congratulations weiser701
Thank you TheShadow for a terrific thread
Sorry i missed even getting a vote in on this one ..
I had to laugh about a guy who has so many lights ...but doesn;t have a single 18650 to throw in with a light ..Seems the oddest part of this entire thread ....but thank God for the Dow being down (or up)... 50$ will buy some nice batteries .
I wonder if this was just weiser all along and we are non the wiser ??
Who knows the evil that lurks in the hearts of men ?
Hey, congratulations, weiser and thanks Shadow for the entertainment!
If weiser701 won then it was BOAZ!
See weiser said cheaplite had the same guess as him and cheaplite voted for Match.
