Subject: TIme to vote for the next Guru Jr.

  Posted by: Dr. Doom Mē Guru Jr. - [16142182] Wed, Jul 18, 11:27
Now it's time to say goodbye
to Guru Jr me,
G-U-R-U J-R.... oops thats for someone else, but it is time to start the voting for the next Guru, Jr.

Once again, Guru, Jr must:

Show signs of Guru-like tendencies, which include, but aren't limited to: statistical support, answering questions, and just being all-around good for the prosperity of this forum. The nominee can also show a sense of humor that makes this forum more enjoyable during hard times.

The winner gets the nametag for 2 weeks and the honor of choosing the next Guru Jr. based on nominations.

The previous Guru Jr's for this year have been philliephan, Madman, KrazyKoalaBears, RecycledSpinalFluid, Richard, J, philflyboy, JKaye and myself.

Gentleman ... start your engines.

Someone else might have said this already but, i think Ira deserves consideration, because of his age and his persistance. Even though he never quite understood KKB's argument in the later parts of his 85Mil thread. Im sure in time he will see KKB was right. IMO.

Think what that would have done before the freeze? Now, he further tries to poke fun at you simply because you asked a mod to delete the ficticious post.
Therefore, I'm deleting that post I wrote as classic, but I'm still voting for you as Guru, Jr.
F Gump gets my vote.

      Wed, Jul 18, 15:12 		F Gump, you don't know how to do all the stats to be Guru Jr. Heck, I was Guru Jr. last year and I don't do stats. It's for a number of things that contribute to the site. Heck, if I could run a macro, it doesn't mean I'd qualify. Fortunately for us, most of the people that do run those lists contribute a ton to the boards.

I do not care if you did not start the "life or death appeals to the moderators" thread, just seeing your name was enough for me to read it and the classic responces. That shows your credibility and it is credibility that makes a good guru jr.

With that vote I just ruined my credibility because I was in the Adz until he makes it group.

I'll wait until all the deserving candidates are exhausted before I vote for Blue Hen.

If the How Did Blue Hen Do website was updated on something more frequent than an annual basis, I might rethink my decision.

Given that Blue Hen has updated his (or her) website a full three months early, I feel compelled to switch my vote to Blue Hen for Guru JR. I can wait another two weeks before voting for a deserving candidate.

I'm not sure if this amounts to a swing vote or not. I'll have to talk it over with mrs. winmiller.

I know that I don't want my vote to swing both ways. (Not that there is anything wrong with that.)
