Wow, that has to be one of the more negative first posts I have seen. Its actually fairly simple to just delete the email notification when it comes in. If you really are that upset about it, just set up a filter to block out the emails you don't want to see. Generally this is the purpose of a "spam" filter.
Takes more than 2-3 days to select the winners. With the huge influx of new entries we do have to go over all the IP addresses/registered users to make sure that people are not entering multiple times. I am sure Tom will post them winners as soon as the process is complete.
I don't think I haven't ever recieved a email about the contests...maybe it's cause I'm on here most of the time. I dunno, I agree with Troy I wouldn't mind receiving more updates
