I know I am new and particularly unqualified to say who is and is not the best at everything in the world, but in regard to the debate over who gets to vote and who doesn't might be solved by having two polls, one as an open poll to whomever votes, like every other internet contest (My little nephew won a free trip worth 5 or 6 hundred bucks because our family is massive and everyone can vote once a day from every email they have, not because he was the best singer out of 200 kids), and one that is member based so a little more selective. Awards accordingly. Maybe this is something to consider next time, or so worthy of attention that you kick me out of the boards for having brought it up and give me the Billy Madison response I so well deserve, "Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
In the mean time, I am pretty excited about the whole thing.
