Having participated in a similar task - judging in the short story contest at S.S.S. some years back, helping Alex Birch and others - I guess I'm finding myself in a position to fully appreciate and empathize with all your efforts as validators. It isn't easy and, at times, I'm sure, quite burdensome. So ... kudos to all of you validators, you do a great job. Many thanks to all of you, past and present. Very nice of you to bring that up at this special time of year, Flopsy. Happy holidays to all. |
