Hi Mike.

>My understanding is YOU were in charge of "Lifetime awards". How did these two recipients get "out of scope"?
>I agree with the awards, just not sure why there are two "contests".

They weren't "out of scope"; they were selected along with Lisa and Rick. However, it didn't make much sense to announce them in Phoenix when they were both going to be at the German DevCon just three weeks later. Other than Lisa, who I notified in advance so she could be there, the announcements at the conferences were surprises to the recipients, which is half the fun {g}.

>P.S. You only make announcements here, you never seem to come back for follow ups. But that is fine.

I'm actually on the UT every day. However, my mother taught me not to speak (or in this case, type) unless I have something to say, so I don't post that often. I'm not sure what you mean by "never seem to come back for follow ups"; I guess you didn't read the earlier threads.
