...for his Salzburg thread, recently resurrected, a superb presentation of the city combined with numismatics. Wybrit and I had already recommended Zohar's thread for that award back then, but we never proceeded to officially award it. Fantastic images, great write up, and a very clever intrusion of his talers to it. So, no, we do not distribute them as smarties lately, Zohar should have accumulated half a dozen already.
Agree?

We need a little trophy pic made up for such an occasion.
He has moved my interest along the way in that direction...who knows...
It also takes a very selfless person to devote so much time in putting together the wonderful posts and presentation of said drool material!
Kudos and Kol-Hakavod which means you suck!
Really appreciate it.

I agree with you on that one. It indeed is a great post. Thanks Zohar for sharing.

How unique is that in this day and age?

<< <i>Is it that the liteside is more investor oriented making it competitive? >>
I think that's part of it. By no means should one paint all the Litesiders with the same broad brush, of course, but the priorities are different over there and that forum draws folks with a different mindset. That's not all bad, but it's definitely a stark contrast sometimes.

I believe that Zohar's opening post in that thread, included 2-3 of his beautiful talers along with his great photography and write up about the place. So, I'd disagree that it was an OT thread, let alone that OT threads or comments can still be nominated, such as harasha's most recent example a few days ago.
Small wonder we're all Darksiders at heart.
