Yep - I hate those "rating", "MOM", "points/credit", etc you see on other boards. People are who they are, and they are recognized for their helpfulness in the kinds words and surprises that are passed on by others - not some kind of "contest" for employee of the month...

BTW, Island - what would be the prize to the "winner" of member of the month? The other sites I've seen do this send out some kind of box of cigars, or similar prize - and enter the person in the Member of the Year, which is an expenses paid trip to somewhere nice...
