Ned had a suggestion related to this at Message 8.
But Ned sure deserves the title.

Re: Poster of the year?
I think you have a great idea that might even be carried out slightly further.
First, I believe that the POTM forum is a great place for EVERY new poster to get aquainted with what EvC is, when it is at its best.
I would like to see the individual messages all gathered into one place so that new members can quickly and easily read through all of them (and to prevent future problems that might arise with links or databases) .
Second, I would like to see the best of various examples brought together, the best explanations of science, the best examples of supporting an assertion, the best synthesis of an idea.
Third, it would be nice to honor not a Poster of the Year, but rather posters who over an extended period produce consistently great material. We are fortunate to have quite a few posters here at EvC who could well be nominated for every single one of their posts, Sylas and Bill come to mind as well as Trixie and Brian. These are people who simply never miss, who contribute greatly to the level of conversation and discourse that has become the norm at EvC. They are an example that gives each of us a goal, a challenge to live up to.
Can I suggest that each of the Admins add a link to the POTM forum to our signatures and point new users towards it as a way to quickly become familar with EvC.
In addition, is there some way that the individual message could be gathered into an informal anthology as described above?
I think that would do more for EvC than awards or acknowledgement.
