But some of the comments are downright rediculous. For example, one poster (cannot remember where I saw this) basically said that he did not recognize many of the products on the nomination list, so he thought the ENnies were a total crock and worthless.  That IS the same type of  negative comments that the Origins Awards receive as well.And before you get too ticked, the OAs do have other problems not associated with this type of remark.The whole point is that no matter what the ENnies do in the future, they are still going to receive this sort of criticism by fans of a given company who  are disappointed in how the judges vote. And in this, the ENnies (or any other rpg award) are going to remain just like the OAs.And for the record, I think that the  judges worked their butts off and need to be loudly thanked for all their hard work!</blockquote>
