I just counted the number of votes again. Using raw numbers of the number of registrations on the list,
1% voted. In other words, under 50 votes. Let’s see if we beat that on comments about keeping it before you get too excited about it returning. The only reason I am ending it is because I think the level of voting reflects the level of interest; and reflects that the arslist and participation in it is now for the most part taken for granted. Activity on, and interest in, the actual list has not grown in the last couple of years, but certainly has not diminished either! Keep Calm, Carry On. Daniel P.s. there were a lot of Hawaiin shirts, just there were so many attendees this year, 488 in fact From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of arslist Sent: October 23, 2012 1:05 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: MVP 2012 - Congratulations LJ Longwing! ** As I told LJ and the others in our midnight on discussion: IF there is a really big, and by big I mean say, 10% of the list, That sends emails or creates a really long thread about continuing it, I might be convinced to bring it back. But with 2.5% voting, although they usually reach the right conclusion, It says to me that the ARSlist is a commodity now and there isn’t that much interest in The Award. To Clarify and somewhat repeat what I said at the conference: There is no longer a separate session for the ARSlist Awards, it is part of an opening session dedicated to all awards The ARSlist carries on, and for now as “just an email list” Doing some Awards related to the ARSlist carries on The ARSlist MVP Award is now retired I will be doing the 20th Anniversary of the ARSlist next year. Twinkies and Hawaii shirts have a life of their own. I will be throwing a wrinkle into that next year as well J Dan From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tami Palacky Sent: October 23, 2012 11:31 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: MVP 2012 - Congratulations LJ Longwing! ** Congrats LJ !!!
