+nfa Posted May 20, 2006 Author Share Posted May 20, 2006 (edited) The idea was for it to lead people to free roadside coffee (like at some highways I've visited in Vt), free samples at factory tours (like I've gotten with class trips), and free samples at breweries... unfortunately, people were not interested in this category, making it the first one I've ever heard of that failed to pass peer review...admittedly, it's no McDonalds or fiberglass horse category, but I thought it would be cool to share.

Jamie As I recall, the reason the category failed Peer Review was because it was too broadly defined, and lacked good variables. For one, there was no distinction made between free sample tables and soup kitchens. I'm sure if it was retooled it could be made to pass PR. If at first you don't succeed...! Link to comment
