I would just like to add that I have not been on the list very long, nor am I that knowledgeable on the systems discussed (yet) to be able to partake much.

Re: Arslist Awards, in peril of cancellation
Daniel, Personally, I think the ARSlist is great! You provide an extremely valuable resource to the ARS developer community and you should be awarded for your continued support and obvious commitment to the list. I also think the BMC representatives who contribute their time, knowledge, and clarity are invaluable and always deserve special recognition. Beyond that, we are a community. I doubt few of us have the time to keep track of the thousands of posts or judge them to the extent you have to come up with your 5-10% figure. Whenever I see a question that I can provide a solid technical response for based on experience and/or training, I contribute. All I hope for in return is a like response when I'm struggling with an urgent problem. Realistically, we are all in this together. I expect most of us enjoy what we do and would like to see this product succeed. Do some people on the list contribute more than others--absolutely. Do some people on the list have more time to contribute--absolutely. Does that mean they should be awarded--probably! If you asked me to name four people I believe deserve awards, I couldn't do it. Not because they don't deserve it, but because I'm only paying attention to the message threads that interest me. David Easter deserves recognition! You deserve recognition! BMC deserves recognition for continuing to improve a valuable platform we all use. Beyond that, I simply don't have the time to track everyone's contributions to determine what are solid technical responses--especially in areas where I have less experience. I'd love to see this list continue to be the invaluable resource it has been. If our failure to satisfy your expectations means otherwise, that would be unfortunate. All most of us look for is a simple thanks when our post helped a fellow developer overcome a problem. In my humble opinion, you should not beat yourself up about it and instead spend the 200 hours of valuable time pursuing something less stressful. I know you care and are only trying to do the right thing, but it's clear the Awards are not a high priority for most subscribers.

Re: Arslist Awards, in peril of cancellation
Well stated! I couldn't begin to select a person, or even a few, that has contributed the most value. I have benefited so much, and hopefully have contributed as much, and am very appreciative to you and the entire community. -Original Message- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Craig Carter Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2008 9:37 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Arslist Awards, in peril of cancellation Daniel, Personally, I think the ARSlist is great! You provide an extremely valuable resource to the ARS developer community and you should be awarded for your continued support and obvious commitment to the list. I also think the BMC representatives who contribute their time, knowledge, and clarity are invaluable and always deserve special recognition. Beyond that, we are a community. I doubt few of us have the time to keep track of the thousands of posts or judge them to the extent you have to come up with your 5-10% figure. Whenever I see a question that I can provide a solid technical response for based on experience and/or training, I contribute. All I hope for in return is a like response when I'm struggling with an urgent problem. Realistically, we are all in this together. I expect most of us enjoy what we do and would like to see this product succeed. Do some people on the list contribute more than others--absolutely. Do some people on the list have more time to contribute--absolutely. Does that mean they should be awarded--probably! If you asked me to name four people I believe deserve awards, I couldn't do it. Not because they don't deserve it, but because I'm only paying attention to the message threads that interest me. David Easter deserves recognition! You deserve recognition! BMC deserves recognition for continuing to improve a valuable platform we all use. Beyond that, I simply don't have the time to track everyone's contributions to determine what are solid technical responses--especially in areas where I have less experience. I'd love to see this list continue to be the invaluable resource it has been. If our failure to satisfy your expectations means otherwise, that would be unfortunate. All most of us look for is a simple thanks when our post helped a fellow developer overcome a problem. In my humble opinion, you should not beat yourself up about it and instead spend the 200 hours of valuable time pursuing something less stressful. I know you care and are only trying to do the right thing, but it's clear the Awards are not a high priority for most subscribers.

Re: Arslist Awards, in peril of cancellation
Nobody said it was hard or complicated. It's not much of a tradition if people are simply picking a name and voting without any real knowledge of whether it is deserved? You just need to look at the current political situation to see how well that works out. -Original Message- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kaiser Norm E CIV USAF 96 CS/SCCE Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2008 9:04 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Arslist Awards, in peril of cancellation Come on, folks...it's not that hard or complicated.

Re: Arslist Awards, in peril of cancellation
I just sent in my vote. Rather than racking my brain over what I sent or responded to or read on ARSLIST over the last year, I basically keep the emails that have value to me or emails that I receive responses to from other posters. I then sorted my list by the sender in my outlook folder ARSLIST and then browsed through until I could see the person who stood out as the one I kept the most emails for.
