I'll start this off by nominating uva72uva72 for best titles in GIB Discusssion Forums. I find GIB bug reports pretty boring, but since uva joined one of my inner joys is to follow what he found this time, and mostly, how he named it. Thanks uva for making bug reports fun :)


The categories are:

Poster of the Year
Newcomer of the Year
Thread of the Year
Individual Post of the Year
"Bridge in the Real World" Award
Most Helpful Poster for N/B Players

I'd like to nominate Kenberg as Poster of the Year.

His posts are well balanced, often humorous and show wisdom. Though his opinions are clear, he is never judgmental about other people's opinions.

Yup I agree that it is a very good and educational topic.
"Genius has its own limitations, however stupidity has no such boundaries!"
"It's only when a mosquito lands on your testicles that you realize there is always a way to solve problems without using violence!"

"Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view's and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one's valid opinion, I honestly believe that I completely forgot what I was going to say."

I was just looking through some old topics and i found this: http://www.bridgebas...ps/page__st__40

The responses I got pretty much changed my approach and attitude towards bidding over-night - I learnt so much from it and it's improved my game more than any other topic on this forum

I think you and Rik are PotY for 2015, with PK, Mike and gwnn being the other obvious nominees.

Can't we get Boye to post once or twice? He could win poster of the year and newcomer of the year too. :P

phil_20686 for poster of the year - noone else has posted as many well-considered thoughts on bridge lately IMO.
