I know we're not supposed to comment here, but... where did my nomination go? I've looked up and down the list a few times and I can't find Mr. Stills.

[The Seeker]

Check the Top Ten thread... your nomination made the Top Ten a year ago already, but no one noticed it. It made the Top Ten this week too, but since it's not eligible anymore, I removed it. Sorry about that, we'll make it up to you.
