Yet again it's a crowded podium but we do have a clear winner - it's tech with 9 votes for Thomas Leer & Robert Rental. Tied for second are Duke (Natraxas) and Tim (Telefis with Jah Wobble) with 6 votes each. And another tie for third place - KJS (Tami Neilson) and Tim (Stomu Yamashta) with 5 votes each. And I get another wooden spoon to add to my collection. With only 6 voters, interest does seem to be waning so luckily there is only one round to go. Any takers??

yay!
essential stuff!
