Best moderator.

George Mitchell. Anybody who can step between the Israelis and the Palestinians, and listen to them for months, then produce a plan of more than 100 pages for implementation of a lasting peace, deserves every moderator award on this old, sad, glad earth, IMO.

I agree, but don't forget his contribution in Northern Ireland. Every year this time near the Easter, I remember the negotiation leading up to the Good Friday Agreement.

[Kayless]

1. SYM Most Helpful Member: Mr. Sleep. Like Rob-hin said, I wouldn't even have my cool avatar (and be up for an award myself) without him. Go Sleepy!
2. SYM Funniest Member: Myself, Grunt, or Waverly.
3. SYM Most Loveable/Romantic Female Member: No clue.
4. SYM Most Loveable/Romantic Male Member: Ditto.
5. SYM Flirtuous Member: Too bad Flagg hardly posts here anymore, otherwise this would be a shoe in for him.
6. SYM Best Moderator: Another tricky one, especially since it isn't limited to SYM. Grunt takes good care of the IWD forum though.
7. SYM Thread of The Year: I must ponder this one...
8. SYM Best Avatar: Other than mine?
9. SYM Best Signature: I like Sleep's "I've just locked an open door, strange but symbolically compelling" sig.
10. SYM Favorite Cult: I'll give the COMMies their due (mainly since I haven't been able to call someone a Commie bastard since the Soviet Union fell).

Special Award
11. SYM Flamer of The Year: It's really pretty civil here. Can't think of any outstanding flames recently.
12. SYM SPAMmer of TheYear: Sailor Saturn has had an insane number of posts in a short while. She needs to slow down before she has a heart attack. She posts like an attention-deficit hummingbird on speed.
13. SYM Lurker of The Year: McBane's been around since Dec 2000 and only has around 600 posts! Way to lurk bub!
14. SYM COMMie of The Year: No comment.
15. SYM New Rising Star Member: Sailor Saturn again.

@Fable and Minerva: Hey! No attempting to inject legitimate discussion in our spammy thread!
