Well from what I've read so far, people do care. So let me throw out another
possibility - CLSotW numbers - it covers the majoirty of "oldtimers", they
already exist in LUGNET and could be "programmed" to a direct link to the
CLSotW archives. And just so there is no misunderstanding, yes I was CLSotW
Number 1 but Todd should have Number 1, I would use the Number 35 (my second
win - I had to look up the number). Multiple winners could only choose one of
their CLSotW numbers, the other would be available to "oldtimers".
Of course you would have to consider setting a block of numbers aside for the
future. And if someone already had a number, consider letting them change
their number to the CLSotW number.
