Please let me know your feelings in support of adopting Colin's recommendation for scoring.
I've been keeping track of the nominations (but not the seconds). If we adopt Colin's rule it seems that we need to go back and each compile our own top ten lists and go from there. Otherwise I can continue with tracking your nominations and we can vote at the end of the month.
Please advise.
Best Regards, Erick
