I endorse John's idea. For my money, makes the most sense.
And at the risk of repeating myself, I think we shoot
ourselves in the foot if we limit ourselves to voting for
only ten characters. The fun and value of the list
(IMHO) is in the less obvious choices where we and others
might find our own
"rare bird". At twenty, the list gains more depth and allows
us to vote our conscience instead of playing strategy. I'll
shut up now.
