I like Karen's idea of ranking and should at least appease some of the people. I'm not really keen on ranking all of othe tanks as it was a LOT of work just to leave comments on all of the tanks. To have to put scores to every one of the tanks is a huge commitment for the judges and they may not want to judge if that were the case. Bailin
