The only reason they suggest you start the hop with the letter corresponding to your name is that they're trying to smooth out the web traffic on the shops. A lot of the shop websites have limited bandwidth, so if everyone started at the top and a lot of people were on the same shop at the same time, you might get really slow response. In some cases you might even bring the shop website to it's knees.
Whatever you do, don't get frustrated in trying to find a bunny. If you look for it for awhile and don't find it, there's nothing wrong with sending the shop an email and asking them where it is.
It's supposed to be fun!!! :mrgreen:
OBTW, our bunny is always on our customer comments page. :mrgreen:
