Congratulations to all the winners.
Thanks to everyone who voted for me! ;) B :)
 
I've merged this into the results thread. We had expected some comments, but suspect many thought the results thread was locked for comments. Feel free to discuss the results.
Congratulations to the winners and all those who voted, the voting response was far larger than we ever imagined.

We didn't have the poll up and running for very long, next year we will have it up for a longer duration.

cheers,
Andy
