[sdiy] Announcing the Soddy!...

[john mahoney]

Thanks for the nominations -- keep them coming -- and thank you for the nice
comments (public and private).

By the way, I will not be publishing the names of the nominators, so nobody
(but me) will know that you nominated your own project. :-)

And I say:
Paul's got it right: I felt that a line had to be drawn somewhere. I tried
to leave some wiggle room to accomodate guys like Paul, Tony Allgood, Ken
Stone, etc. Not sure about Peter Grenader's Model 15 VCO, just for one
example.

If in doubt, submit the nomination. I can include a checkbox on the voting
form that will allow the SDIY members to rule on each project; something
like "I consider this to be a commercial product that should be ineligible
for the Soddy."

How's that?
