Plotinus i would be unpleasantly surprised if i thought you did not think that making a jury, a select-few, to give half of the awards was not an intrinsically problematic idea. But then again maybe i am wrong, i am not infallible.
For what it is worth i would still have this view even if more jury awards were for me. I just do not see why a jury had to be made, other than inner politics of this site, or if politics is probably too heavy a word, inner circles and their mutual shoulder-taping.
Obviously this is not a place for rhetoric- who would i try to convince, after all? it is a bit like Joseph K. trying to take the audience in the trial on his side, only to discover that that audience was none other than the people who moved the strings of his trial.
I am anyway perfectly happy with the non-jury awarded prize, which i plan to keep in my signature. But placing the jury one there would be wrong on my part, for reasons i hinted at, and which shined hopefully a minor bit, despite their metal being attacked by rust.
Edit: But i accept that it was not really an apt time to speak on this issue. I shall refrain from making more comments, and accept that i should have not mentioned something bound to shake the dust.
