I've always felt you do a great job with the club and would definitely be in favor of this route. I also like the vote on the 30 and keep the top-11, but I think this one might lead to less variety.
If WT Sharp is choosing I think we should leave it up to them to adjust categories on a yearly basis. I would also suggest that WT run the 30 poll as a way of garnering information on where interests currently sit. |
Then another consideration for the poll on the method could be "Vote on your favorite categories, then let Tom (me) make the final decision."
As for being ready for "vitriolic abuse", I've had a lifetime of preparation, if that's the way the vote goes.

A most excellent suggestion. Would you mind starting it?
