The Online Awards Table
Counting, comments and awards were undertaken carefully, solemnly and on the whole soberly by the judges.
Apologies for any mistakes. Do not enter into correspondence!!! ...... but instead please take charge of correcting all the oversights, omissions and errors of judgement:
... to the unsung heroes, and all the people in the NI Community who in your opinion really deserve them!
Of course we know it's not all about volume and less is often more, but we wanted a method to measure so we used No of Postings plus awards for style of contribution.
