The goal was for each group to select and agree on one query that sounded like a winner. No agreement was ever reached but we laughed hard, learned a lot and realized what a tough job a publisher has! I'll be interested in how Nathan's contest turns out.<br /><br />Jane Kennedy Sutton<br />http://janekennedysutton.blogspot.com/Jane Kennedy Suttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12519340747761460017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32918125.post-81633338011205325862009-04-13T18:41:00.000-05:002009-04-13T18:41:00.000-05:00I'm with you, Morgan.

The queries will be appearing on Nathan's blog over the course of the day.
