Hey Doom!

How close to tallying the results on the 1st annual ShadowTk Awards are you?

And if they are done, when are they coming out?

Yes, Herr Angliss!

My final entreaty for votes did not alight upon entirely deaf ears. There
were more responses. At present, the ballots are fully tallied .. I am
cognizant of all victors. There are one or two ties in the categories,
which shall not be altered; also, in the cases of close contests, i.e.
someone winning by one vote, the other shall be bestowed the honor of
"runner up" or honorable mention.

> And if they are done, when are they coming out?

Well ... I had speculated on a write-up of sorts, an awards ceremony, if
you will. However, a report and oral presentation on Frederick the Great
(in German), a Folklore term paper (on jargon and terminology observed
among the Internet community), and -- where what precedes insufficient
monopolization of my time -- a vehicular accident encompassing myriad
conversations with physicians, parents, insurance agents, and automobile
mechanics have, at best, hampered, at worst, stalled my efforts in this
regard. Perhaps I shall be afforded the requisite time o'er the holidays.

I am presently weighing the option of privately enlisting aide in this
endeavor or simply presenting the results.

if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic."
