I would like to thank OfCourseMyHorse for finding some great antique hats!

That all looks about right...bless us all. We could add a few new areas to all this...like the most "gentlemen" manners while posting....most of everyone would sure fit in that one....and the top of that one would be Alan. The rest would be a scramble for second place, as you are all such dear souls and act respectful and proper. I have to just personally thank everyone on that aspect.

 

[Bigger Don]

I accept no responsibility implied or otherwise.

Yeah, I'll try that with my Favorite Wife!

 

[Frunobulax]

Lol. I "kid" you not. I don't have a computer just my cell phone. Remember I'm the guy that took over a year to learn how to post pics...

OK. I have a solution. Watch your messages.

Voting is just so unfair. I respect and like everyone and all their wonderful hats and contributions way too much to choose.

There's not a soul in this forum I'd want left out. I say the dedication and passion for a mutual interest we all share makes everyone here award worthy.

[Joao Encarnado]

Tell em you want to collect that $10,000.00 prize money and PRONTO! Hahahah

Nã... I don't want the bankruptcy of no one. Give me a big vintage hat and I'll be happy.

[Frunobulax]

I don't know how to copy or delete or repost.

You are not alone. My so called smart phone is far too smart for me, not a clue how it gets on line. One of the most often stated answers that I get when I ask anybody about this, that or the other with reference to computers or smart phones is: "Oh it's easy." So that's my instruction? Oh it's easy? Is there a book for dummies that cannot understand the computers for dummies books?

Lol. Frunobulax told me how to do it but I'm not ready to start pulling my hair out trying.

I think a nominee shouldn't vote...
