>Regardless of the value of such awards (and no offense to any >recipients or nominees) such a popularity contest is always useful in >one way or another. And that's my issue with itall it was was a popularity contest. Nominees would win on name recognition alone, had nothing whatsoever to do with the quality of the actual product/service. A product that has 1000 users of which only 500 actually think it's good enough to vote for would win over a product that has 100 users of which 99 think it's the greatest. The first would win handily...but which of these would you prefer to use? ;-) So hopefully if anyone does come up with such community award again, it will not be based strictly on a number of votes system...but an actual ranking of the product/service. --- Mary Jo ~| Get the answers you are looking for on the ColdFusion Labs Forum direct from active programmers and developers. http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/categories.cfm?forumid-72&catid=648 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:288113 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

RE: Replacing the CFDJ awards.... ?
LOL, Steve. That is probably why I never liked reading CFDJ, or any SysCon published material for that matter. You could never "see" what you are looking for even if its right in front of you.
