Done. In my defense, I did update this earlier today before I posted any
messages.

Of course I maintain a dialog with the community. The reason you don't hear
much from me here is that I tend to lend my support where it's needed most
and right now BZPower has many new, young builders that Lugnet does not.
They need encouragement and links to the inspirations that are already here
at Lugnet. You do a fantastic job of maintaining the dialog with the AFOLs
in .build.mecha and I see no need to mess with that.

Fair enough. I'll change the sidebar again next week if I recieve no more
nominations and remove MoTW and I'll try something else in it's place.

I, too, was looking forward to the update, but without nominees for MoTW,
it's just not something that should take up the sidebar. I'd love to add in
other things, but I'm not getting the kind of email I got last year that
were full of new and innovative ideas to add to the sidebar. Consequently,
that gives the appearance that I'm not keeping up with my duties when, in
fact, there are no duties to keep up with.

Thanks, Eric, I really do appreciate the support.
