    Ethic Pro

    I eagerly await today's troll award. And I think it's only fair to the awardees that you spell out the guidelines for selection. I'm wondering if it's purely executive authority or if it's a back-room deal or committee-driven choice.

    In this instance I'm going to have to disagree with you, Ms Ethics. I don't want my two cents interjected into Jebbie's decision. I like having his decision posted based on whatever it is that he bases his decision on, without democratic input. I also look forward to and have so far enjoyed his choice of tunes, with which he backgrounds his decisions.
