This is way off topic but overdue and neccessary: I just wanted to thank everyone for your nice comments and contributions during the poetry contest. The appropriate post and related thread have disappeared into the archives and the recent lottery news has rightfully dominated the talk in here, so I thought a diary would be a good place to do this.

I can't believe the incredible talent we have here at the Edge! There wasn't a bad poem in the lot and most were excellent. I thought Dave's poem was right up there with the best (loved the Greenpeace line). And, to repeat the general concensus, the Blazertalk is always high level.

So...thank you and awesome job everybody! This truly is a special place.
