Hi Phil,

Thanks for visiting and for the nice graphic!  Sorry about the forum issue, I put a lot of speed-bumps in place for people who were thinking about opening lots of extra accounts or already have.  The idea was to make them too busy or tired from trying to keep all their extra names active.  Hopefully, we won't get any of those in here, or the ones that try will be obvious.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for visiting and posting!  I'll be looking forward to your nominations.

Hi Thomas,

It doesn't actually say in the rules that you and I can't BE nominated, it says we won't MAKE nominations.  I did make some last-minute changes BEFORE I posted the rules in these 2 threads yesterday at the formal announcement.  Bogdan wanted to make sure I said all former POTW's can be re-elected.  Then I added that former POTW Forum Leaders(Captains) can be re-nominated or re-elected.  If people want to nominate us, they can.  I just didn't want us to MAKE nominations and be accused of deliberately adding 1 or 2 votes to someone.  Even if it IS a public write-in vote.

I just didn't want a "sweep" of all former POTW leaders, even though there will be 11 PEOPLE of the Year next January, I'd like to see some non-former-leaders get most of those places.  It depends on the highest vote-getter per month.
