I’d like to nominate tom as the most persnickety and as the person most likely to twist a post but I don’t see those catagories.

The truth is generally seen, rarely heard. Gracian.

Oh, you know, what with all that great work you were doing in Quantum Chromodynamics, I figgered somebody ought to nominate you for the Nobel Prize in Physics.

Or I suppose I could nominate you for the Peace Prize, what with all that selfless courage you displayed in ending the war in Chechniya. But I still think that Quantum Chromodynamics will have a longer-lasting impact.

The truth, as always, is more complicated than that.
