      I started to, but then I noticed the list was very long... I only have so much attention span. Maybe if they had pictures.
      
      Is there a link for the new one? Has it started yet?

      So you have a 95 score, but you also have the scarlet letter... but Relache has a solid 100, but no scarlet letter. In a battle, who would win? (Im pretty sure she has a cape and a mask too, so superhero wear doesn't enter in.)
      
      But wait, cause Christy has a 98, right down the middle, but also a big old H... (probably no cape... a presumption of course.)

      I wonder if we could nominate ppl all year thru and then at the end of the year, when it's time to vote we can pick from a list and/or add our own nominees. Does that sound incredibly lazy? lol... I just had a hard time finding so many examples of each category. And "best overall hub" / "most awesome hub" seems kind of redundant.
      
      It would be fun if we could have a voting thing for what categories we'd like to oust and suggestions for ones we'd like to add. I wonder if the staff could dislike me anymore than at this moment.

                           It is the holy grail of coffee cups. It will become your life long quest.
                           You will write a hub about your journey and it will be so charming and relate-able, that everyone who reads it will post it on their FB page, and soon after, it will go viral. It will be voted "most awesome hub" ... EVER. Then one day, you will hear a knock at the door, you will open it, and it will be Paul and Robin E. They wont say a word... they'll just look at you... no words are necessary. You know it, they know it... it's your time... your time to shine. They will carefully place a hand-crafted, simple wooden box in your hands... your eyes will mist up. You'll slowly begin to open the box, Robin will look at Paul, and his eyes will meet hers, *this* is why they do what they do. He will give her hand a squeeze as a tear runs down her cheek. You will reach into the box, lift the mug gently out, and like the winner you are, you will lift it high in the sky. Nothing else matters, this is the moment you only dreamed about, but never thought you'd see come to fruition. It's your Hubpages mug moment. We, your fellow hubbers will somehow sense what's happening, and in silence, support, and quiet awe, we will all raise our plain coffee mugs high in the air, in salute.

                                    Don't be sad, I meant it as a compliment  In fact, had I met you before I would have voted you the most funny hubber instead of myself!

      This was my first year to vote. I didn't fill in all the blanks, just the ones I was excited about. I hope that's ok.

         That's fine, you don't have to fill out every category. I don't think I did last year.

            It's fine, you're right - no need to fill out every category.  I didn't last year.  I hope to get more filled in this year.

   What is angry about DILLIGAF? It is the exact opposite of anger since it indicates a total lack of emotion or interest about the matter in question.

      The f word in caps always gives me that impression, but then so does a raised eyebrow so...
      No insult intended, just a lighthearted joke.

      A total lack of emotion?  Hardly.  Not leaving a reply would have expressed that.

         I answered the original question, received a response and replied to the response. Fairly standard forum behaviour for when I want to kill a bit of time.

    Congrats, Beth, on getting another long-time user to think you were a newbie when just a year ago you won Forum Queen.
