One thing that is a bit, oh, not well talked about I think, is that there seems to be a bit of a pecking order, whereby people who are mentors, editors, etc, MIGHT get chosen over others who are not acting in those capacities, based on their extra effort. I guess that is one way to make sure you have mentors, editors, etc, but I'm finding that the amount of effort I'm putting out on applications, owner reviews, are really not cost effective regarding my time, and I've just gone out and bought myself a few things rather than trying to wend my way though the inner circle.
