If you can come up with a system that we can all agree is reasonable, I'm
sure we could get Mikey to endorse it. Of course, that's a pretty hairy IF
clause. :-)
So, start drafting your proposal.
Hell, if you can come up with a system that everyone on the list agrees is
fair and equitable, I'll even voluteer my time to write the code. How's
that?
In the meantime, I'm gonna take every award won with a grain of salt.
Except the Grammys, 'cause "Who let the dogs out" really /was/ the best
techno song that year. :-)

PS -- 'Gel, don't get too worked up. I know how you feel about that song.
