Oooh another opportunity to rant under the guise of filling out a survey…
Here goes:
Best Thread (Overall):
-Gore Vs. Bush - it was illuminating, most informative, occassionally funny and scared the bejesus out of me. Did provide, however, great insight into the American populace;
Most Informative Thread (horse related, of course!):
-The most recent posts by Pwynnorman and Snowbird on proposed rule changes;
Best Thread-into-Action (goes to an idea/recommendation/thought that actually proved to have a positive outcome):
-Colin’s BB Aids’ drive;
Most Humorous Thread:
-Oh no doubt about that one, Dog Park Etiquette; though Canter and Jair’s nationalistic pride did provide many hours of amusement;
Dead Horse Award (goes to thread topic that was rehashed way too much, should be banished for next year and NOT to be reopened here):
-Gore vs. Bush for all the reasons noted above;
Hall of Shame Award (goes to best deleted thread):

William Faulkner Medal (goes to member who best uses stream-of-consciousness, rambling, disjointed posts…but in a GOOD WAY!):
-Moesha and Snowbird;
Group Hug/Warm Moment:
-This BB is uniquely nutty, informative, enraging, baffling and heartening. And sad to say but I prefer the virtual company of many of you to the in-your-face company of others in my ‘real’ life – mostly my mother in law but Jair’s gonna have a talk with her soon so we’ll see 
.
. I will assume you are venturing north of the border for the holidays, though, and let’s just say, you’d better call or email me - there’s a follically challenged mogul waiting with bated breath for your arrival.
