In [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=4203142#post4203142), it was suggested that this be submitted for Threadspotter. How does one do this? Of course, being the OP, I have a higher interest in this thread, but I do really like all the stories in it. But I can’t find any rules for the machinations of Threadspotting. Help?

From the front page: Send your nominations for Threadspotting and Weird Earl’s to [TubaDiva@aol.com](mailto:TubaDiva@aol.com)

I dunno about anyone else but I’ve sent a few nominations in, and sometimes they appear, sometimes they don’t.

I’ve submitted a couple and generally about half were accepted.

Thanks, **hawthorne** and **Shalmanese**! That was pretty quick! I’ll give it a shot.
