I'm extraordinarily relieved to see more editors weighing in. Since there's such a labyrinth of words here, I'd like to summarize what other editors besides we two have suggested: Limiting number of awards to between five and 10; have third-party citation that is not the Chamber of Commerce or the local paper; and since towns and cities change, to limit awards to those 10 years old or newer. Since other cities I've surveyed, and noted in the discussion, don't even have Awards section, I feel I'm taking a middle ground by endorsing this compromise. 3Ton, however, has remained implacable, and won't budge from his position. May we address this compromise other editors have endorsed?
