I think that Robert, Aitor, and Martin are all great choices, but with careful consideration I gotta give it to Graham.

Frankly, I can't even believe I'm on this list!

Thanks to everyone for nominating me.

Wow! this is a tough one, I recognize the efford of many on the list.

But personally I vote for Thespian Paul, because in private he has helped me to reconstruct my Linothorax, I know that many people in the forum do the same way... But then you got the ones who make in public! :wink:

As always, selecting between individuals in such distinguished company is a difficult challenge. I'm sure all who were nominated were deserving, but there were a number of names of people whose posts have benefited me directly. Won't say who I voted for... but congratulations to all of you for your nominations.

Quite so- and all should bear in mind that there will be more awards and there's nothing that says a person can only be nominated once Big Grin

It hasn't been officially announced, but it's obvious, so I just wanted to be the first to congratulate him.

Congratulations Graham on winning the Vexillum!!

Well deserved!!

I want to say one additional thing.

For me, being on the same list as Graham, Jim, Robert, Aitor, etc is just ridiculous, (I'm not worthy!) but I'm deliriously happy people felt like I deserved it AND voted for me. Many thanks!

And congratulations to Graham one more time!!

Woohoo!

Considering the only other winner of the RAT Vexillum is Mike Bishop, it is a real honor to be given this award. Thanks everyone, I hope I can keep up the standard!
