We should, with categories—maybe by forum—such as, Most Beguiling, Funiest, Most Provocative, Most Brilliant Post Within a Thread, and so on.

I also think Twickster should set it up and run it. How about you?

Is “Most Appropriately-placed Thread” one of the categories. 'Cause I think you missed the boat on that one. 😉

I disagree. I doubt the mods can say there is no factual answer to:

The factual answer is: No, we don’t.

Since the factual part of this question has been answered, I am going to close this.

Further discussion may be pursued elsewhere. However, I will point out that such awards have been discussed before, and this ended up becoming quite contentious. I would recommend against it.
