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.
