It is my pleasure to nominate David for the prestigious IOM award. Well, the discussion started in response to the triathlon thread,
I really think Prof. John "Charles" Hadov should be in charge of writing all the nominations. He's got that truly remarkable "opening speech" style he perfected during his duty as the presdent of Rotary Intl. It is sharp-cut and eloquent yet allusively flowery, and he skillfully avoids using easy but driving down sentences starting with "Well,..." and "Anyway,..." that should never go right after the grandiose entree such as "It is my pleasure...".
