Once again, a "Best of Massdrop" with no apparent Massdrop history? This is the second time in just a couple of weeks. What gives? Also, my previous question on this issue was never really answered, but I guess I didn't really express that clearly. So, what is the definition of a "Best of Massdrop" item?

seenypaulIf you search the UL forums or even our polls for the most highly recommended guyline or stakes, you'll find Lawson Equipment. Highest quality, great design, made in the US, and very reasonable prices, plus the company always gets super high marks for customer service. We actually had a drop similar to this last year, but it was at a time when Dutchware was selling Lawsons stakes, and we didn't have the same tensioners. This package is better all around - more refined stakes, better tensioners, and an absolutely killer price. I am thrilled to be working with Lawson and I know many of our community members are already fans of his and can attest to his quality.
@seenypaul - I thought I answered this after your previous post. Best of Massdrop is a community favorite - usually a highly requested item that does well in sales and is fairly universally agreed upon as the best product in it's price/use category. If you search the forums, for example, the Zpacks Duplex is usually the highest recommended high-end tent (the tent most people would buy if money were no object). In this case, we had a previous drop that was similar, and Lawson is clearly the community favorite, so in this case it seems appropriate to be labeled as the "Best of Massdrop." Thanks for asking again and I hope I answered it this time!

DannyMilks @DannyMilks actually before I asked this question (both times) I entered the item into the Massdrop search box to try to figure out for myself what I missed. When I enter "Lawson Equipment" in there now, only the current active drop shows up and no polls. Now that you have told me, I was able to enter just Lawson and found that single previous offer for the Dutchware combo, and a single poll with Glowire getting 59 votes. Search the forums? The search box doesn't seem to be giving me any hits on that at all. How does one search the forums other than by reading every post? So I guess I'm still at a loss to see how these qualify as a "Best of." I guess for my purposes I have to simply ignore that designation as highly subjective.
