Re: Ah crap

I agree with Booth.  I find it amazing that when someone wins an award the 
first thing that happens is the complaining about the fact that someone 
else's favorite didn't win.  Why can't we all be glad for and proud of 
both of these fine gentlemen for their accomplishments and their 
nomination for this award.

I met David at the iSocial Monday evening and I have no doubt that he 
would have been a fine choice and deserves all the recognition he can get 
for everything he does.  Having said that, why do others feel the need to 
tear down Trevor because they believe David should have won?

Personally, as I've read this thread, I have lost some respect for Joe and 
his attitude about this.  I would have thought that someone of Joe's 
stature in our community would not be so negative about this.

I'm sure if you ask either David or Trevor, they are not doing what they 
do for the recognition.  They do it because they see a need and have 
stepped up to fill that need.

Congratulations to both of them, not just for their nomination here, but 
also for everything they both do every day to help all of us and to 
promote our beloved System i.
