The 2004 DU Awards Poll and Survey
Here it is, the 2004 poll/survey (I use survey because some things are more based on wide open answers).

You can post your replies or mail them to me. On Sunday, Dec 26th I will pour over them and create a summary thread of votes, etc and present the outcome on Monday, Dec 27th.

In the event I am unable to do so I may ask for some help (My mom just got out of hospital and if she does not improve may go back in, have to wait and see what home nurse thinks after some more tests come back).

The overall idea here - Answer only what you want, put any reasons you want. As mentioned it is as much a survey as a poll. I hope we can use it to look back at 2004 (and ahead to 2005) and have some fun with it.

It is long, but hopefully not too long. Please feel free to Add some things if you like, I will work on putting it all together and welcome additions.

I decided to do all this manually as I don't trust voting programs ;) IF you do make a new topic throw it out in Bold Red and/or put that in subject line so people can more easily find it - OR start a new thread with more and link here.

Time has their man of the year award (and you don't get jack, which is good this year). We have our awards, and the winners probably won't get jack either except bragging rights.....
