Yeah, I know

At least they don’t this stuff all that often. This is the last reminder for it, I promise. I think there is supposed to be another thing to announce the winner or something like that, but that’s it.

does this thread format work better than just appearing on the page?

I would guess so

If this were to show up as an ad, a number of readers – and prospective applicants – would have it blocked.
