I think it's a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience something most amateurs will never ever experience. I think that's why I am rubbed a little the wrong way with how many "repeat" MCer's there are this year (hey... you said no PC answers). If it really is a "once in a lifetime" thing- why do some people get to do it twice? I didn't "win" the MC 1.0 contest and I wasn't around for the second one... but if there is a third I would Love to be a part of it. I also know I would be pretty miffed if I didn't get in, while someone else is on their 3rd MC. Even if it is one of my friends from the board.
