LJ has a definite point about participation in the ARSlist awards. I was not aware that voting was so lethargic. Even if you're not an active poster you certainly gain knowledge from the various posts. When the first requests for nominations and voting are sent you should respond immediately. Not only did Dan and Joel initially set this wonderful facility in motion, Dan has spent many hours over the years maintaining it. Everyone who didn't vote should examine the disrespect they have shown Dan and make sure that if Dan can be convinced to go one more round of voting next year that you all step up to the plate and do the right thing. So little is asked of you to support this service. For many of you this is 'free' support, you need to do your part! And it is a tradition that should not be let go of.
LJ ... congratulations for sure on a well deserved win. I've utilized much of the information you have published and I doubt that I'm the only one. The other nominees are to be congratulated too, I know that Jason Miller is also a very active poster. These guys use their own personal time to help all of us out. The award is a justified show of appreciation for their hard work and way for us to let those who go the extra mile know we value those efforts. You can be sure you'll hear from me come voting time next year!
