This is a longish posting, Please read the entire post.
thank-you in advance...... 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 and perhaps improve the humour (which has occurred from time to time). The ARSlist corporate sponsors WWRUG 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 Sept. 1st, 2010 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 [email protected] * Votes posted to the list are not accepted, they must be to [email protected] Past MVP [Most Valuable Poster Award] recipients are: 2009 Dr. Christopher Strauss 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. Sender 1995 Martin Nystrom In the MVP list above, anyone after 2003 is not eligible, and neither am I or the Board of the conference So, the two open categories are.... ----------------------------------------------------- *MVP - Most Valuable Poster. This is the person you feel has contributed the most to the list in a combination of quality and quantity. Anyone who has won the award in the last 5 years, BMC or Remedy employees are not eligible. An individual must be nominated by at least two independent sources. ------------------------------------------------ BMCSoftware Employee Beyond the Call of Duty Award Again, an individual must be nominated by at least two independent sources.

Time Lines: Sept. 15th 8p.m.EST: nominations close (if I receive good other categories, the category will be posted in time for people to nominate potential recipients) Sept. 16th any time zone: Voting begins for MVP and all other categories Sept 30th EST: The voting Closes for MVP and all other categories October 21 at 8:30 a.m. WWRUG10:Award Ceremony [no one knows the winner(s) until then, well okay, except me and the plaque company] Please send nominations to [email protected] thanks ...Daniel Daniel Bloom Founder of the ARSList p.s. and yes the 14th annual but 15th year, with 15 past MVP individual winners and 13 live ceremonies so you decide ..... hence the -ish _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug10 www.wwrug.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"
