If there is enough interest, I may up the number. I chose this number because it is round. Not like 10 is round, but similar. Also because it seemed like a good number to ensure that (if the 12 are active types) there is good blog activity, and because it seemed likely that at first we probably would get only perhaps two dozen nominees.

What's wrong with 14? It's more round than 12 and 10. It is easily divided by 7. 12 and 10 aren't. What do you have against it? 14 is a perfectly good number. I always liked 14. 10 gets too much attention. 10 pennies equal a dime; heck, it's got a whole metric scale. And 12. 12 is a dozen. Think of all the dozens that exist due to the number 12. Yeh, 10 and 12 always get all the good honors; they get all the attention. Besides, if you don't go with 14, I'll play the R card.

My choice of number is cliched! But 14 is round? Seriously, is there a less round number than 1? And look at all the hard angles in a 4. Pointy, pointy, pointy.
