As Founder of the ARSList in November 1993, it is my privilege to announce the 15th Annual ARSList Awards Call For Nominations. These awards were created by me in 1995 to recognize the effort that other people were putting into the list, providing the excellent technical replies and sometimes mediocre humour, and to provide them an incentive to keep providing those excellent technical replies. The ARSlist corporate sponsors RMI Solutions and Daniel Bloom Consulting Inc. provide the award plaques, prizes, and various flying objects. The Rules for Nominations and some General Rules: * An individual must be nominated by at least two independent sources * The years postings are somewhat reviewed to ensure that this is someone who posts quality answers. ( Not that anyone has ever been rejected on this basis) * Only those that were on the list for the entire year are eligible * Only those that have registered on the ARSList before August 1st, 2009 will be eligible to vote. It is assumed you won't vote if you haven't been around long enough to know the posters in question. In the unlikely event of another tie, the person or product with the greatest number of sources of votes will be declared winner. * Voting and nominating is by the Individual REAL person, so redistribution lists don't vote, and those that have multiple subscriptions still get only one vote * BMCSoftware employees on the ARSlist are eligible to vote * All decisions of the oversight panel are final (if I have to make a controversial decision, I confer with 3 past MVP winners for their opinion) * Nominations posted to the list are not accepted, they must be to daniel.bl...@danielbloom.ca * Votes posted to the list are not accepted, they must be to daniel.bl...@danielbloom.ca Past MVP [Most Valuable Poster Award] recipients are: 2008 becomes fiscal 2008/09 no winner yet 2007 Rick Cook 2006 Axton Grams 2005 Tim Widowfield 2004 Matt Reinfeldt 2003 Carey Matthew Black ------------ 2002 Chris Woyton 2001 Gidd Calden 2000 Jarl Groneng,Tommy Nijem 1999 Rick Cook 1998 Raymond Leach 1997 Vicky Bayol 1996 Joel D.
