"now, i realize that my words are going to be dissected and trashed and stomped on..." Certainly not by me. I don't play those word games. You're basically saying that the administration is trying to appease those complaining about the "popular" vote of the membership in who they would like to see in the AOM spotlight? And from what I've read, the "Member of the Month" is going to be random, not voted for. How does that let the members vote their appreciation for anyone, as you say?
