We made the decision not to post the report on-line, since it is (gasp!) an honest assessment of the community's competitive strengths and weaknesses. If you want a copy, PM me with your e-mail. It is a large file if you have dial-up (four pdf files, 3-3.5 MB total).

'atta boy, Stumphie - show 'em how's it done.

 

[Wulf9]

Good job!

 

[Michele Zone]

So does that 'award' award you any money for making your great plans a reality? (probably not).

And how would I PM you if I wanted to express my personal interest in plagiarizing? er, I mean, learning from your greatness? (Remember: I am new here so I have yet to figure out all the technical stuff -- or even the local abbreviations.)

 

[JNA]

big atta boy!

is the award more than just a piece of paper?
do you get go anywhere to collect it?

 

[nerudite]

Wow...congrats! Nice job... it probably even has more prestige than a grammy.

 

[Suburb Repairman]

PM messages are easy. All you do is click the button below the thread that says "message". Don't worry, it took me a while to figure out the technical stuff.

I'm not sure what it will look like - probably a plaque of some sort. I doubt if I'll know more before then, and they won't be doing a press release until then. They didn't want recipients to notify the local media either. I wonder if Cyburbia counts. As for where - here's the exciting part - Cincinnati! Ooooo! The Ohio Riviera!

(For those in the Cincinnati region, I am actually looking forward to seeing that part of the country, which I usually just drive through,and open to suggestions of interesting small towns.)

Congratulations. And who ever said plagarism doesn't pay?
