How about the "ALLCAT"?  I have to say right here that I repudiate the
entire concept of this award.  To single out any one of the C/A folk for
recognition implies that the others are, somehow, inferior.  This ain't
the case.  ALL of the C/A folk have been the most informative, helpful,
and supportive people I've seen from ANY computer company.  Picking any
one of them out is massively unfair to all of the rest of them.

I'd like to go on record as saying that whoever it is that finally
wins this thing, all of the rest of C/A folks SHOULD have won it, too.
If I were going to DevCon (gawd, I wish I could.  I wish I could afford
the $50 to BE a developer :-) I would take all of the "losers" out to
dinner.  No, I'd take all of the C/A folk out to dinner, and get
Marco to pick up the tab :-) :-)

Oh, yes - I've refused to vote.  I suggest that all you folk do the
same, and send email to Marco letting him know.  If you've already
voted, take it back.
