Results of a sort.

Some quick work with Excell and here come the nominations.

Please note that all that was required to make the list was one nomination in any category.

BTW There did seem to be an American flavour to the participation - I don't suppose that this should be strange - This is more an American thing than than us reserved Brits, and other non amarican citizens.

It was a good return - many participated.

Now I could put this little list of names up for a run off ballot. But that would be unfair. Besides the joeclones & Mudelves could undoubtbly ensure that matters were resolved to thier entire satisfaction.

Instead I am going to take an example out of the American Electorial system and form an electoral college of One (ME)

Using all posible electronic methods, and carefully eliminating "hanging Chads" (Sorry Al !) I will anounce the winner(s) later tonite.

As with Judge Roy Bean, judges decision will be final.
