And, as I said before, of course the voting shows favoritism: what's the point of it otherwise? Doh!

Sorry. I didn't know it was a member popularity contest (quality of content is why I think toulenwoek is hands down winner).... I'll stay away from it then in order not to cause any trouble.

But that's exactly what I am saying: your favourite is Toulenwoek because you rate the quality of his blog postings higher. Other people will disagree, that's the nature of a vote.

I'm not suggesting it is a popularity contest based upon which member people like most, but based upon which blog they like best.

So no need to apologise, and please don't stay away either! Obviously we are just differing on how we interprete the use of the word favoritism in this case.

Maybe I'm just different (imagine that):cheesy: Oh well, their both great blogs and support the site so what can I say... I think toulenwoek's blog is the better quality, but maybe it's just not on a topic everyone likes (and of course I mean no offense to the creator of the other blog... It's still very good and better than mine, obviously).

Man! What a tight race! This is both exciting and nerve-wrecking at the same time. One thing I have figured out: All those Oscar -nominated actors who make all that ballyhoo aout how "It's an honor just to be nominated" are liars. I want to WIN. I'm up against a worthy opponent, though, so it's fun.

And, Crash...thanks. Now, if only I could get hold of Ralph Nader and his backers...
