Besides, she was the inspiration for my post about not winning her Zune contest, which is currently the most read post on this site.

I sometimes wonder whether these big prizes aren't won by close friends, or whether money doesn't change hands under the table, e.g. "If you send me $10 and tell your readers I won, you can keep the Zune/Wii/PS3", etc. I know Ms.Danielle and co. wouldn't do that, but it must happen, don't you think? What a great read, and I’m glad the story had a happy ending.
