Hello all;

This is the second catchup POTM ballot.
(I have decided to change to moving backwards in time so that at
least a few of the posts will be in recent memory.)

General Note: Anyone can nominate a post during the coming
month, by replying to it and changing the Subject line so it
includes the words "POTM nomination". Then a seconder is
required.

There are two nominees for December 2007. Votes may be posted
here or sent to me by private email at eliasrk(at)gmail.com [(at)=@]
When voting here, please reply **directly** to *this_post*.
Voting will close midnight EST Saturday Mar 22nd.

(1) From: hersheyh (4 Dec 2007)
Who explains to Sean how widely separated randomly placed
'islands' of protein structure (used for unrelated functions)
would allow detection of magical poofing.

Friar, thanks again for making the effort to do this. I for one really
appreciate it, and I am sure others do also. It's a worthwhile endeavor and
the nominated posts all really deserve some recognition.

I haven't even announced that VBM was the winner by default for
Feb 2008.

By way of excuse, I work for revenue Quebec, and we finally
did the big event (a search and seizure) on a fraud case that I
have been working on, almost continuously, for 3 years. These
things are always stressful, and require an enormous amount of
preparation, and now there's the paperwork.

You think the paperwork we impose on innocent citizens is excessive
and unclear. It is nothing compared to what we do to ourselves.

My back is covered with welts from the whip my wife uses to get
me to do ordinary tasks. I don't know why she bothers though;
it is obvious I can no longer move.
