I think that this is a brilliant idea but sadly excludes those of us who are
building equipment for commercial gain. A guy's got to eat, hasn't he. I'm a
dedicated DiY'er and have been for twenty five years so I think this
exclusion is a shame.

Maybe a special award for those of us who fall into this category? ?:)

Best wishes for the awards though...
