So it was just an email harvesting tactic? :mad:

Perhaps not. But perhaps. And the page hasn't disappeared, just the announcement. Perhaps only the winner was notified, which happens with several contests.

I suppose you could always send a query to their sales department and ask if you're that curious about who won it. But with only a single copy up for grabs I don't think there's much financial incentive for the dev to be playing games over it.

The contest wasn't run by the people behind ST itself, but by a guy called Josh Earl who has written a couple of e-books on ST and runs a mailing list with tips.

Yes, of course! Though I'm not that interested who won if there is one that won and an announcement like "Giveaway is over. The winner has been notified and thanks a lot for giving your email addresses." would have been very kind.

I think there is this one guy who wins everything. State Lotto Contests, new cars, Irish Sweepstakes etc.. He used to work for the US Postal Service. He was in a unique position to discard the entries of other participants. This gave him a tremendous advantage. Especially since he could bombard the contests with entries funded by the postage meter at the mail sorting center. I believe he retired when snail mail contest entries went out of favor.
Unless of course he branched out into telecommunications. Hmmmm.
