Good idea Steve.

Maybe we could add the following categories:

The poster of the best photographs.

The most informative poster.

The best moderator.

Thanks John, additions made. If no one else is going to start the ball rolling I'll have a stab later.

rolling along..


6, FUNNIEST MEMBER Ron, hands down.
8, SPECIAL AWARD FOR STAMINA Tim
11, MOST PARANOID MEMBER. Me, Myself, I and you, (not necessarily in that order) Definitely you, whoever you are or not, and I must admit to lingering doubts about Me and Myself.

The poster of the best photographs. - Robin and James

The most informative poster. Jim, BK, Tom, John S., Bernice, David can definitely be, as can Jack and others.

The best moderator John S

Stephen, I think #1 should be a tie to Larry, Pat Speer, Greg Parker, Steve Thomas and James Richards (and I am sure I inadvertently left someone out!).

Re #4, I agree, I even annoy myself!

Re #6, I agree it is indeed Ron hands down!

Re # 5, without question it must be Hammer Man!

Re #7, I will need to review the threads I started.

Re #10, clearly it is John Simkin.

Re #11, how can one suggest a single candidate when it seems that at least half the members are paranoid. Peter Lemkin might be a good choice, however. He thinks the US fascist regime is out to get him! LOL!

Re#13, clearly James with Robin in second place.

Re#14, I'd nominate Pat Speer.

Re#15, I'd call it a tie between Antti and Kathy.

As I judge would say, I am taking the other categories "under advisememt".

Tim, you may be annoying, but you can laugh at yourself, a quality I admire.

Sorry Stephen, delete if wish to do so.

"Needlessly Paranoid to Jack White"
an idea : Jack has many friends and supporters. Marcel is a person I think one can assume to have impeccable integrity.
Those who DO have surplus money, send some to Marcel who sets up and manages a trust fund.
Money therefrom is used to buy Jack a state of the art Mac with a huge external USB storage disk.
When sufiicient money is raised notifies no more is needed, donates surplus to 'Save the Children Fund', 'Amnesty International' or such like, or returns proportionately to donors.
Jack would definitely benefit, and I think the research community would do so also.

20, MOST LIKELY TO WAX PHILOSOPHICAL AT THE DROP OF A POSTAL INSPECTOR John Dolva

Thank you Greg, humble me feels unworthy, however 20. absolutely. Stems from an accidental observation in NIX that caused me to 'look over my shoulder' to see where that could have come from, and there was Ian Griggs and "Holmes Four Faces' and the rest flows from there.

Thanks for putting a smile in my being.
