Why yes, that is horrible of you.

Oh wait, that's not what you mean...

I think that might cause more trouble that it would prevent.  It might stop 
people from nominating themselves, but if people know who nominated 
them - and who didn't - it might cause difficulties.  The simplest solution 
for all of us is simply to use our own FP database.  In fact, I think that we 
might want to consider that database the definitive list - it's been 
approved by FAQ writers and has keywords and everything.  As soon as the 
nomination process gets going - and assuming that people respond to it 
- we're going to have to divide amongst ourselves the job of reviewing those 
nominations and selecting from them the posts that are actually fantastic.

On the other hand, when people send in a recommendation to the archive 
group, we'll be able to see who recommended who.  Any thoughts on this?  
I don't think this is a decision that should affect sending out the letter - I 
can change the database later if people think it's a good idea. 

It's entirely impossible for me to write the next sentence without sounding 
arrogant or self-promoting, so I just won't try.  If you want to add my Snape 
post to the database, Eloise, you can use our database, as we all trust your 
opinion on what is or isn't an FP.
