I think what Todd is trying to say is that if a site is especially
noteworthy, he'll pick it over the other sites in the list. For the
Halloween and Star Wars contests, it made sense to pick those sites for
the respective weeks because the contests had just ended. Picking them
as CLSOTW brings people's attentions to the results of the contests right
away. When Todd picked my tutorial last year, I think he was just trying
to flatter me by giving me #100 :) (Actually, I think Todd asked first on
RTL if anyone minded, and there were no complaints.)
Remember, it's Todd's site, so he has the last word. I bet there are
many sites that are recommended that never appear in the voting list...

| (...) This defeats the whole purpose of voting then. I wonder how much worth a vote has if Todd is ultimately going to select the site he wants. (...) Yes of course! I think about this every time I post in here. (25 years ago, 20-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)

| (...) The queue is pretty long. There are actually so many totally outstanding sites that the non-totally-outstanding sites don't stand a chance. But that's kind of the whole point -- the showcase the most outstanding stuff. --Todd (25 years ago, 20-Dec-99, to lugnet.general)
