Ok, as this thread is starting to go off track now, I think it’s time to tally up. So, we have 11010 nominations………The polls only allow 1010 options so if we want to have a proper vote, we’re gonna need to whittle these down a bit. Anyone have any ideas how?!!!

I don't know if this will work cos I haven't checked (what a great way to start a post!) but take the 1010 of so from that list that have had the most positive votes so far in this thread?

Looks like I might have to sit down and really go through the nominations properly then!! Shame I can’t post the poll options in hex…..I’m sure it would let me do 1A options…..

The "He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes" signature reminded me of another :
Give a man a fire and he will be warm for a night, but if you set a man on fire......
Regarding the use of a poll - create 11 polls each with 1010 options and then the top 10 from each can fight it out in the final poll.

Not quite a signature, but one of my favorite quotes....
Once you accept that the universe is matter expanding into nothing that is something, then wearing stripes with plaid is easy.
Einstein
PS-My entry was a rather bad attempt to re-create a great bit of writing by Terry Brooks...When a book can make you chuckle to yourself, it's a good book!!
