This is a reply to Linda from Maine in thread
http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-101903-1.html . To see the question and my rationale for double-posting my response, please refer to that thread.
Linda, I'm not sure to which thread I should post my answer, so I guess I'll cut and paste this answer to both threads. I have always had mixed feelings about whether or not it is appropriate to vote for myself (or, in this case, my entry). Consequently, I have always chosen to recuse myself as a judge or voter in any contest in which I have a personal stake. For that reason, if I enter a photo in one of our contests, I simply will not vote in that contest.
