I had to edit some of my nominations into empty posts to make some people look a little less stupid, I can't believe some people actually think they're already voting. :rolleyes:

"I want to be heard, I don't give a ... about the rules!" Is the general idea so it seems..

Yeah well, rules are made to be broken, right?

But seriously, with as many emails as I send to our staff as a system administrator, I've learned how to get the information across ... well if they actually read the email. It has to be short and to the point. Multiple paragraphs are bad. Bullet points are good. Minor variations in text (like bold and italics) help, but anything drastic (size and color) will take away from other important points.

People tell me I have selective hearing anyway. And I imagine that includes what I read ... I guess it's closer to selective short term memory.

That's actually kind of strange. I don't have very good vision, but I am easily allerted visually by movement. I saw a show on Discovery or something about the different kinds of vision, and how they're processed by different parts of the brain. Some are more sensative than others. Some people may not be able to process light, but the part of their brain that detects movement might work just fine. So they'll know that something is moving in front of them, but not be able to see anything at all. Kinda creepy isn't it?

That's kind of similar to the case where a man locked himself into a freezer and "freezed" to death, when they found the man -dead- the freezer appeared to be out of order. What the man did was think himself to death. Pretty scary what the mind can do... (http://www.snopes.com)

What is with all the damn ignorant people posting in the GTP Awards Nominaton threads. I swear, even in the "How Many Replies Can We Get?" I have not seen so many stupid posts.
