***Update***


Well, now that deliberations have begun and Judges are busy with decisions and criticisms, comes a rather significant development...


One of our esteemed Judges (as chosen by HDC's secret ballot) has decided to opt out of the judging process because of prior commitments and lack of time...


He is our own Sean Keller aka Roderick Usher.


This is his message for all HDC-ers and other Judges of the panel :-

"I can't do this one

I'm slammed and am going to be slammed for at least three more weeks.

Sorry, I appreciate everyone's vote, but I simply have to bail on this gig."



Bit of a blow for Sean's fans here at HDC...anyway, the deliberations and judging continues between all the other panelists.
