Maximum mea culpa. I'm nearly a week late in posting this and I'm really sorry. My only excuse is that I'm nearly as far behind in my paying job and had to make a choice. I chose employment <g>
Hopefully jmyrlefuller will do a better job reviewing last weeks thread. I haven't even read half of it yet.
I've done the top 10 with and without text again and the honorable mentions with text only. This is the "without text" version of the top 10 and the "with text" version is post #512 (I've corrected the numbering error in that post here) and the honorable mentions are in post #513
10th Place bray
9th Place altura
8th Place Bahbah
7th Place jmyrlefuller
6th Place Laverne
5th Place STARWISE
4th Place MNJohnnie
Third Place chiller - very informative posts with impressive takes on the issues and personalities - the discussion of Shadow Warriors was particularly valuable and added much to the thread
Second Place kabar - great take on the issues discussed and how they relate to the wider landscape and particularly great historical perspectives
First Place Fishtalk - Excellent, forthright, always insightful and enjoyable analysis with a witty and (dare I say it?) professional writing style
Many thanks for doing the awards and congratulations to the winners.
