About 2 years ago we had a big awards “thing” and everyone voted and blah blah blah. We’ve always talked about doing it again but it hasn’t happened yet. I think it is looking like it’s time again! So this thread is to establish categories. **NOT to nominate anyone or vote** , just to establish categories. Once we’ve settled on a set of those, I’ll make up a page for it, and then we’ll start nominating people and voting.

All of those look great; my suggestions would be: Most Reliably Inaccurate (guaranteed to make at least one egregious error per post) Rookie Of The Year (for best over-all performance by a relatively new poster) * * * JMCJ Just confirming that my ass is, in fact, the wisest part of my body. ---

Most obnoxious use of HTML Most shamelessly self-promoting Most rational in the face of heated argument Most irrational in the face of friendly debate Or how about awards related to individual fora: GQ Master GD Guru MPSIMS Emperor Lord of the BBQ etc. Those would be hard to pick, though. (Moderators would be ineligible, of course.) * * * An infinite number of rednecks in an infinite number of pickup trucks shooting an infinite number of shotguns at an infinite number of road signs will eventually produce all the world’s great works of literature in Braille. ---

Building on what **NTG** suggested, what about: Most Versatile Multi-fora Poster and: Exceptional Fool (in the sense of the medieveal “fool” who told truth with humor) Wide-Ranging Mind: interests and snoopy-mindedness that most closly emulates (gasp!) Cecil’s. Great idea, Opal! And yeah, “slams” can be close to compliments here…though scrupulous judgment and balance would be needed on that one. It would have to salute really valuable voices, not just “troll du jour”. Veb ---
