[QUOTE="Teflon Billy, post: 2623940, member: 264"] Hey, now don't go putting words in my mouth:) Firstly, I'll quote Chruchill (and I'm sure you know what's coming here) And I tend to agree. Not just becasue I am doing well (thanks all!) but because, honestly, what do you think would produce results better reflecting the Zeitgeist than the calssic "One Person/One Vote" model? Anything more complex than that is an effort to skew voting, which is fine if you are looking for a specific result...but I would hope that the specific result that we're looking for here isn't [i]that[/i] complex. Secondly...I don't think it's fair to categorize any of the previous judges as being a "Sacrifce of the future for the sake of the now". I've worked with all of them, and am perfectly confident in their ability to do the work required. I don't know about that. It seems to come up every year in one form or another. I'm just not sure that any "fix" I can imagine does anything but punish incumbents for successfully doing their jobs. :\ Is it "fair" to do that for the sake of...I don't know what? [/QUOTE]
