Email received from PiNay. And the same goes for others have sent emails - all have been received.
I'll reply to each winner as payments are issued. I apologize it's taking as long as it is, but with nearly two dozen winners, payment is more challenging than I thought - no wonder no one else has ever done a contest here quite like this one LOL!
More XOOM payments (it seems to be running good now; a prob with one of the payments should be fixed now) will go out later this week - I can't do all at same time because the fraud people at my credit company will cut my card off if I try; calling my card issuer beforehand is an effort in futility ... so anyways, I'm trickling the XOOM payments out to hopefully prevent card problems.
More PayPal payments will go out once I get more funding in that account. And Western Union payments I'll try to attack later this week.
In short, all emails appear to be received and will reply as payments are issued ... payments will take some time due to funding delays and the different payment types - I never realized how hard it can be to pay someone LOL!
I'll post an update of who is paid, etc later this week after I get more payments out - stay tuned ... and thank you again everyone who participated
