What do you guys think of that? Does it dilute the title if half the entries get the award? A bit slow here. It was voted in, the with a strong uproar, voted out. Leave it alone, let the judge decide and if you don't like him/her/it, then don't vote that person back. The uproar was because on judge gave out so many Selects that some thought it diminished the value of the award. Who didn't like the number of Selects awarded? Those who won didn't complain. Those who entered and didn't win, would have like more Selects. So, evidently those who were bitching were those who didn't compete. How does that make sense? Evidently more like what was done than didn't since Ed was elected to judge again, and I guess those who were unhappy as to the number of Selects he gave out before, won't be entering this year. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
