Just to help everyone get things into context and focus positively in the right area"s with humility, empathy and understanding at this sensitive time. Please remember;

I CAME SECOND BEHIND A PHOTO OF THE BACK OF A BLOKES HEAD!?  :D

My self esteem is not effected and i am not bitter in any way. I think if Des had taken a picture of the back of my head i would have won, but hey maybe next time!

Happy New Year everyone  ;D

Kevin




Can we have an award for Post of the Year.  This gets my vote!

;D

Well good luck with it but once you start changing the fundamentals of the organisation then people will naturally become sceptical.


APAT does not allow Hertz VanRental posters PSVK and you have chosen to withold your details on registration.  In addition, to make some of the allegations that you have with regards to the APAT Awards is completely not acceptable to me. 

However, I am left with no choice but to put this account on hold.  I will happily reactivate it when you are prepared to divulge your identity and apologise for your allegations.

APAT will open discussions with Jon Spinks with regards to his playing status. 

Regards,

Des.

Regrettable but given the overwhelmingly negative nature of PSVK"s posts, the anonymity does become a little suspicious.

Has Ironside got hold of Des's log-in details?

The way eatmystack has grown this year makes it the only worthy winner on that list.


Do you understand how voting actually works?





I know how it should work!

But it seems people have voted for their favourites instead of the best.


I agree!! :D
If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.

Leaving aside the fact that the "best" in many if not all of the categories is by it"s nature subjective (best picture, best forum, best venue etc.).

"But it seems people have voted for their favourites instead of the best."

That"s the nature of any democratic vote, in theory you are the best and that makes you people"s favourite. In practice there are many other factors at work.

This is the reason why every decision APAT has to make shouldn"t be decided by a member vote - because it won"t always come up with the "best" result.

(A reply harking back to a debate quite a while ago, but I think a good opportunity to make the point)
