As the festive season is upon us and, over sherry and Xmas pud, we take up the mighty challenge of Hooper's Christmas Quiz I would like to launch the ACB Mailbase equivalent of the Oscars - the ACB Mailbase Golden Retort Awards for 2003.
These are intended to recognise the diversity of intellectual pleasure provided to members of the mailbase by those who actively contribute to the discussions. The range of rewards reflects not only the science we strive to practice but also the fun and light-heart, cheerful humour injected into many messages which shows we are still human.
Nominations are sought under five categories :-
1) Most erudite mail of the Year
2) Best one liner
3) Most searching question
4) Longest running thread
5) Lifetime award for contributions beyond the call of duty (lifetime of ACB Mail that is) - please indicate justification.
Nominations should be sent directly to me at :
[log in to unmask]
Closing date 12 January 2004
Rules
Entries will be judged by myself and a totally secret panel ACB worthies (well if they can get away with this for Knighthoods I don't see that we should worry).
Nominees will be offered the chance of refusal.
Our decisions will be final!!
Unlike merit awards self nomination will not count.
Lobbying and bribrary are discouraged but may be accepted if sufficiently attractive
Awards will be made at FOCUS 2004 (we'll decide in which bar later)
