Ok everyone... need to share two items of information with everyone concerning the nominations and the nominating process!

1) It has been mentioned that some are not comfortable in accepting their nominations for a variety of personal reasons. With that in mind, each person nominated will be contacted by pm over the next week and asked for their acceptance of the nomination before they are included in the poll. If, for some reason, the person does not wish to be nominated we will contact the nominator (sounds like a math problem or something there) and let them know so they may have the option of nominating someone else. Make sense?

2) During this discuss it was decided, as a group, that the Super MOD's and Admins (cariad, Widget, suchaminx, Tessa, and myself) are declining any nominations for the "Most Helpful" title. We feel that being "helpful" is part of our job description and is part of why we all choose to volunteer in our positions and prefer not to have recognition based on that reason. We appreciate the nominations, thank you to those of you who nominated one of us in that category, they really made us feel loved and wanted (), but as we said, we just wouldn't feel right excepting them in that category!

So, if you have taken the time to nominate one of us in that category please feel free to make a second post with new nomination(s) for that category in the thread and we'll take it from there!

A HUGE thanks to everyone for your participation!
