Thanks, Committee!

:(

I didn't win.

I feel soooooooooooooo discriminated against.

cheers Peter

We get the Mustard Pretzels instead.

Thank God I did not get an award named after E. Smith & Co. The Omni Cmte should seriously reconsider renaming the award to something like "the savvy frequent flyertalker".

What an honor (honour)! Thank you so very much! Hopefully Rae will save me some...

AMENDMENT TO THE WINNER's LIST:

it seems that the committee, due to Rudi's travel-absence, had a communication problem. The committe decided already two weeks ago that:

Aubie/Justin and
pgupta011

are also November winners of the award (please apologize Rudi's communication problem).

AND, taking profit from CatMan's unforseen absence (Las Vegas trip) in a dictatorship-way the (for that time one-man-) committee did also add to the list:

CatMan (his protests to this came to late - and even cats can't bribe a swiss judge).

Enjoy your trophies.

post scriptum: there has been a (hopefully minor) delay in the delivery of the trophies (they should have been distributed yesterday, out of Washington D.C., but it seems that, because of an AMERICAN Company beeing late in delivering part of the trophy, distribution can probably only start end of this coming week ... the Swiss company was in time - which is natural as we are not only a chocolate but also THE watch country).

Thanks Rudi and Catman--you guys are a real treat!

Thanks! You guys are great!

Thanks for this award. I will cherish it always and put it on my "Wall of Awards". along side my "Oscar" and "Emmy" (two people I have known for many years). If y'all think you're going to get Blue Bell out of this, think again! Y'all get my most prized Buffalo Chips.

Thanks youz guys! You folks are really too much. I'm on the road and have had limited internet access and just came across this thread. You made my evening for sure!!!

I would like to thank my mother, father, agent...oops, wrong acceptance speech.

Seriously, thanks Rudi and Catman for honoring me with such a great group. Your helpful advice has been more than enough reward.

Gee, as a new junior member, now I really have something to shoot for in the future.

Wow! Thanks, all!

My family says that now I'm going to be even harder to live with.

What a great group of people...
