Re: Arslist Awards, in peril of cancellation

2008-08-18 Thread Redick, Kevin
I would just like to add that I have not been on the list very long, nor
am I that knowledgeable on the systems discussed (yet) to be able to
partake much. Hope that helps explain maybe why at least one of the 4k
never submitted anyone.

MVP!

 

I vote for Dr. Christopher Strauss. 

 

He is a long contributor to the ARSlist and is greatly overdue. Chris is
on the list constantly and is one of the most helpful Texan's I know.
Thank you Chris for all the support you have given us all.

 

I think everyone should vote for Chris and make it a landslide!!
Come-on all of you regular contributors! Let's finally get Chris Strauss
the MVP!

Well, the nominations have not been impressive in numbers

So far, quality yes, numbers  no. To the 0.1% of you that have

Contributed, thank-you.

 

Perhaps the list as a whole feels that the Awards are no longer needed?

 

That those that contribute so much should do so and don't really deserve

some form of recognition for it?

 

That 80% of people on the list can benefit from their knowledge without
ever posting,

even acknowledging the contributions of the other 20% when all it
requires is a few minutes

A year to show their appreciation? Or more accurately the 5-10% that
provide solid technical responses?

 

I don't have the time or energy to try and get the 4400 + subscribers to

Get involved. I will just be disappointed that you don't. (ignore that
there are 8000+ that read it).

 

I have spent up to 200 hours preparing for the Awards and doing the
presentations (for a single year),

And I am not happy with the  participation.

Ok folks, Dan is not able to check email regularly at the moment, but
the voting has not yet started; it is still in the nomination phase.
If you want to nominate someone, you should send it to Dan Bloom
directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED]; he will ignore posts to the
list as far as voting and nominating go.

MVP!

 

I vote for Dr. Christopher Strauss. 

 

He is a long contributor to the ARSlist and is greatly overdue. Chris is on
the list constantly and is one of the most helpful Texan's I know. Thank you
Chris for all the support you have given us all.

 

I think everyone should vote for Chris and make it a landslide!! Come-on
all of you regular contributors! Let's finally get Chris Strauss the
MVP!

Well, the nominations have not been impressive in numbers

So far, quality yes, numbers  no. To the 0.1% of you that have

Contributed, thank-you.

 

Perhaps the list as a whole feels that the Awards are no longer needed?

 

That those that contribute so much should do so and don't really deserve

some form of recognition for it?

 

That 80% of people on the list can benefit from their knowledge without ever
posting,

even acknowledging the contributions of the other 20% when all it requires
is a few minutes

A year to show their appreciation? Or more accurately the 5-10% that provide
solid technical responses?

 

I don't have the time or energy to try and get the 4400 + subscribers to

Get involved. I will just be disappointed that you don't. (ignore that there
are 8000+ that read it).

 

I have spent up to 200 hours preparing for the Awards and doing the

And I am not happy with the  participation.

Why not look at it as a personal thing.

If you remember any help YOU have received, vote for that person. You do
not have to evaluate the total bulk of the posts.

Daniel,

Personally, I think the ARSlist is great!  You provide an extremely
valuable resource to the ARS developer community and you should be
awarded for your continued support and obvious commitment to the list.
I also think the BMC representatives who contribute their time,
knowledge, and clarity are invaluable and always deserve special
recognition.

Beyond that, we are a community.  I doubt few of us have the time to
keep track of the thousands of posts or judge them to the extent you
have to come up with your 5-10% figure.  Whenever I see a question that
I can provide a solid technical response for based on experience and/or
training, I contribute.  All I hope for in return is a like response
when I'm struggling with an urgent problem.

Realistically, we are all in this together.  I expect most of us enjoy
what we do and would like to see this product succeed.  Do some people
on the list contribute more than others--absolutely.  Do some people on
the list have more time to contribute--absolutely.  Does that mean they
should be awarded--probably!  If you asked me to name four people I
believe deserve awards, I couldn't do it.  Not because they don't
deserve it, but because I'm only paying attention to the message threads
that interest me.

David Easter deserves recognition!  You deserve recognition!  BMC
deserves recognition for continuing to improve a valuable platform we
all use.  Beyond that, I simply don't have the time to track everyone's
contributions to determine what are solid technical
responses--especially in areas where I have less experience.

I'd love to see this list continue to be the invaluable resource it has
been.  If our failure to satisfy your expectations means otherwise, that
would be unfortunate.  All most of us look for is a simple "thanks" when
our post helped a fellow developer overcome a problem.  In my humble
opinion, you should not beat yourself up about it and instead spend the
200 hours of valuable time pursuing something less stressful.  I know
you care and are only trying to do the right thing, but it's clear the
Awards are not a high priority for most subscribers.

what we do and would like to see this product succeed.  Do some people
on the list contribute more than others--absolutely.  Do some people on
the list have more time to contribute--absolutely.  Does that mean they
should be awarded--probably!  If you asked me to name four people I
believe deserve awards, I couldn't do it.  Not because they don't
deserve it, but because I'm only paying attention to the message threads
that interest me.

David Easter deserves recognition!  You deserve recognition!  BMC
deserves recognition for continuing to improve a valuable platform we
all use.  Beyond that, I simply don't have the time to track everyone's
contributions to determine what are solid technical
responses--especially in areas where I have less experience.

I'd love to see this list continue to be the invaluable resource it has
been.  If our failure to satisfy your expectations means otherwise, that
would be unfortunate.  All most of us look for is a simple "thanks" when
our post helped a fellow developer overcome a problem.  In my humble
opinion, you should not beat yourself up about it and instead spend the
200 hours of valuable time pursuing something less stressful.  I know
you care and are only trying to do the right thing, but it's clear the
Awards are not a high priority for most subscribers.

** 

Well, the nominations have not been impressive in numbers

So far, quality yes, numbers  no. To the 0.1% of you that have

Contributed, thank-you.

 

Perhaps the list as a whole feels that the Awards are no longer needed?

 

That those that contribute so much should do so and don't really deserve

some form of recognition for it?

 

That 80% of people on the list can benefit from their knowledge without
ever posting,

even acknowledging the contributions of the other 20% when all it
requires is a few minutes

A year to show their appreciation? Or more accurately the 5-10% that
provide solid technical responses?

 

I don't have the time or energy to try and get the 4400 + subscribers to

Get involved. I will just be disappointed that you don't. (ignore that
there are 8000+ that read it).

 

I have spent up to 200 hours preparing for the Awards and doing the
presentations (for a single year),

And I am not happy with the  participation.

p.s. and I am contemplating cancelling them due to lack of interest, I
give it until Friday evening
