I think they should do it like the Stanley Cup... they all take it home and take pictures of themselves and friends drinking from it, sleeping with it, swimming, etc... :D

Not a bad idea BT.
Congratulations guys. I remember when most of us in this forum was a member of one of the skyscraper forums that were very nasty to most of us from Jacksonville. Joining this forum in '07 was a huge relief and a breath of fresh air to say the least. Not only did we have the liberty to talk about skyscrapers, but we could also talk about public issues, public service issues, social issues and other topics relative to urban, suburban and metro life. My hats off to you guys for running a second to none forum and keeping it "ship shape."
