Hi Ainaechoiriel,

I do not feel jumped on my throat ;-)

I think these awards are your brain child.
Nevertheless you made this post mortem
to hear what your participants thought right and what not.
That I did, and will do further, as long as I am allowed ;-)

I am neither the organisator of MEFA nor will I organize
another award, it is much too much work for me.

What worked I think we all saw.

You managed the MEFAwards from the beginning
until the projected end, that in itself is such a
awe inspiring performance that I am left quite
breathless.
I think you could just repeat this next year.

But I think we were all invited by you to write
what each participant thinks could be improved.
What is not thought about and not written about
can never be improved.

So better write down also thoughts
that do not agree with the organizer's wishes
than to leave out also those thoughts
that you did not have
but that you might like to install.

I think it is in the mind of the beholder
what each thinks is a "complete overhaul".
Those persons not so much involved
in the organization see many things
not as important as you feel them
dear to yourself.

So please bear with us
and take from our nitpicking
what you want ;-)

I think nobody will leave MEFAwards
only because the nits picked at
are not reworked as wished by the nitpicker.

Best wishes Elanor

Thanks. I'm glad you didn't. I was away from this for most of the weekend
and coming back it was just too much, I think. It was easier when I saw it
every day.

It *is* a lot of work, I'll give you that. And perhaps more than my brain
can best manage. I have seriously some problems with my brain due to
massive amounts of stress. The neurologists are stumped as they can find no
"hardware" reason for it. So nothing to fix. I'm stumped, too, and a
little depressed. Taking on the MEFAs was perhaps more than I should have,
but I loved it anyway.

Thank you. I needed that little boost. ;-)
