That's "Oh so funny" florin

!

You've not missed anything. Plan is for anyone who is interested in suggesting a category to do so before tomorrow. From then onwards, the category list will be finalised by us Judges.

Once we have a final list of categories, we can start reviewing posts, everyone can start suggesting posts, and the judges get to decide on the final list of nominations. THe nominations will be published and the debating can begin! Then the judges get to decide the winners. Should be fun.

We now have a complete compliment of Judges:

gbrandwood, UK
florin, Netherlands
wwhopper, Washington (USA)
Sal, Indianapolis (USA)

I'm not sure which of us is Simon Cowell yet

Next step, continue to receive ideas for categories etc., until Friday 10th November. After this point, the Judges can get together (virtually) to decide the final categories and next steps.

So all, please post ideas and categories...

Nice to see that there are a couple of Europeans on the board. Nothing against our cousins over the pond you understand!

Gareth, can we vote on who gets to be Simon Cowell?

And should include all members of the community, not just from one area or another.

Gliding is gliding no matter the land mass, and a Segway Smile translates no matter the language.

p.s. I have been called Simon from a couple of my clients, because I say what I feel, not what folks want to hear. (they are still customers too)

It may be too late to suggest an award category, but I'll toss one out anyway...

Resident Curmudgeon
Selection Criteria:
1. Long-time member of the forum, dating back to its earliest days in the Fall of 2002.
2. Regular contributor up to the present; 1000 posts minimum.
3. Segway Non-Owner; past, present and (likely) future.
4. Totally without shame.

Competition for this award is likely to be fierce.

Hmmm, we have some curmudgeon who ARE Segway owners - goodness knows, they should be included, but other than that, I think it's a great suggestion.

PM sent to all Judges...

How about "Most successful or longest lasting Troll"?

Or maybe just, "Best camoflaged post" Indicating a posting that seemed to hoodwink the most people into either believing the poster or the topic...

We have all seen common issues that went way off course, and people who professed to know that which they do not, and often these items go on for long long times...

I do find it entertaining to look back at some of the postings from people who made themselves out to be in the know, only to have a completely different reality come to pass.

If nominated I shall not run. If elected I shall not serve.

Happy Veterans Day, Karl.

Karl, you are too late with submitting your category. Perhaps we can use it next year.
