Is there a chance that I can go in there and actually win $10k?? No.

Seriously people, if you're spending all your time trying to win $400 by May 1st (over a month from now), perhaps your energies are ill focused. If you can't do some honest work and make more than $400 between now and May 1st, there's something seriously wrong.

Don't get me wrong, the contest threads are cool and all, but just very misleading. And people I've never heard of are all over those threads racking up a huge post count and a little bit of money and have probably never done an honest day's work in their life... ie. a teenage surfer at home using his dad's net connection.
