Well, I've gotten a great response from my recent poll request where i gave a list of top candidates. it is apparently much easier to choose from a list than to think of them off the top of your head (not meant to be sarcastic or anything). it's much easier when you have names in front of you. i thank wayne for giving me that idea. I have also had a few requests to repost the list so here goes. by the way, i may extend the deadline if responses keep coming in so heavily. keep those entries coming!!
