Seconded!
If I could've been arsed to register, that would have been a good nomination!

Am I missing something here? The nominations were open for anyone to contribute, so is Zap and David Pilling were "missing", that's presumably because no-one (including yourself) bothered to nominate them.

Ah ha! The magic word. There's now an underscore.
Also, elsewhere in the thread some people have complained that their favourite author or application wasn't shortlisted. As Steve, csa.*'s voice of reason, has pointed out - everyone had a chance to nominate their favourite people and apps. I'm sorry if you didn't get the chance to login and nominate (or email in your choices), but hopefully now you'll find the time to vote on the shortlist.

Can one not rely on Drobe to correct mis-reportings /without/ a pleading?
Surely a simple correction should suffice!
What did you mis-understand about my original correction?
Or is this just a semi-humorous obfuscation excusing incompetence?
And should I look forward to this quote appearing on Drobe as a 'quote'?
And BTW, shouldn't that have been 'Aha!'?
'Ah ha!' is two words!
Lots of questions to answer!
Compliments of the season!
Or, if you're expecting something more, complements of the season! But don't hold your breath!

Thats for the magazine, not for the person behind it. Louie is what we've been crying out for on this platform - new blood - and is far more deserving of a nomination than I am. She's set up, edited and published a brand new magazine all in her spare time, all I've done this year is learn to fly.

I would be among the first to praise David Pilling's contribution to RISC OS over the years. However, these are the 2006 awards, and, to the regret of all of us, DP hasn't done anything new for RISC OS for a long time now.
Development of Zap, which I dearly love and use as my only editor, also seems to have ground to a halt, which would seem to disqualify it from a 2006 award.

With an interest in new blood and flying, I have to ask, are you a vampire?

I don't think that's quite true, but it hasn't trickled down to a stable release. It's been mentioned on the zap list that such a list might be on the cards...
