http://www.orangewhoopass.com/forums/index.php?topic=103059.msg145995#msg145995There you have it, 22 nominations, with nominations already piling up for Week 8. So who won? Well, this is a first in the contest, the winner actually gathered all the first place votes cast. In essence, we have our very first consensus winner, which in it of itself is very tough to do. When all the moderators get together to vote, rare are the times any two or three can reach an accord in any shape or fashion. From the complaints of the jelly donuts and coffee to the bitching about the funny hats we have to wear at our meetings, moderators are all unique. When moderators start to think alike and react alike, then the world is surely at it's ending stages... but I digress. Congratulations to you, Mr. POTWA Winner, yours is a shining example of something or other and this time you made everyone stand up and notice... kudos Kevin "El Jefe", nominee #20.
A clean sweep of all votes cast!
