No I have a couple a folks I am waiting replies on and I didn't want to let them off the hook. Everyone who is mentioned will receive the interview. I hate to see someone do the interview and then have to wait month's to see it published.

I am not sure if its the best way or not , but rest assured your booked!!!:thup:

I need Chasr to put his arm around HaysK(In a strictly Platonic way):) and Cajole him into returning his:attn:....

Thanks G. Yes I couldn't figure out what to do with the old wordpress thread so I am putting everyone in this one. I have #1(see OP), I just need to add all the others. Then we will have them all in order and I'll take good care of this until we run out of spotlights .

I suggest people be pulled from the Active list, on kakostats.

In what manner W? Do you mean get nominated then check stats for activity.

Or just nominate according to stats?

The less active folders seem just as worthy for a spotlight. With consistency being the main ingredient, also a presence in the forums.

Sure I would do one.

Great!:beer: I know there is a great deal of interest in you powerful farm. I'll go over the interview form and see if I can personalize the questions a bit. I'll PM it to you within a day or so. Your RAC for Rosetta is off the charts! Congrats! Its got to be a Team record!

Thanks Augie, Sorry I have taken so long to send you the questions. Sfu is up today.

I'll get a bunch of questions to you soon..

Good to see you back, d!:beer:

I also have a great idea for our December Spotlight. How about a special Christmas Edition, highlighting Santa2008?:clap:

Idea was a good one! Santa accepted! It should be published on the 24th. (Now go edit it:D)
