Scrap AQOTM |
Let us replace it with a post of the month -- often a quote would be a
winner but isn't because there is too much prerequisite contextual
quotation needed.

Oh, heaven forbid that a quote should actually be taken in context!

~Iain
Interesting idea. My main concern would be that quite often even
complete posts would need to be contextualized because they are part
of a longer thread of posts. Where does it end?

there is no justification. If there are rational
reasons to believe something, then "faith" is
superfluous. If there are no rational reasons to
believe something, then continued belief is, by
definition, irrational."

My main problem with it is that many times the majority of the
nominations aren't really what I'd consider quoteworthy.
No, I'll take that back. My main problem with it is I've only been
nominated twice and didn't win either time. LOL

Aw hell, if that's all.
I've been nominated a bunch of times, but never won.
However, I still like playing the game.

Doesn't work that way. If you want a POTM contest to start, volunteer
for running it and tell people to start nominating. You can be the
Postmeister!
Anyway, the QOTM is a long tradition & I'm against changing it. But a
POTM nomination would be fun as an addition, I guess.

We already have the AQOTM and the TQOTM. Sometimes a reasonable quote
wins the TQOTM, most of the times the opposite holds. It's good the
way it is IMO.
