The voting is closed, and the results have been tabulated. Thank you to everyone who voted. The race was very close, again this year. The winning margin was two votes, and third place was one behind the runner-up.

The winner of the 2007 Audiokarma Member of the Year is Andrew Townley, otherwise known as our own jaymanaa.

Here are a few comments about this fine gentleman:

--Jaymanaa has taken me under his wing and is trying to teach me how to be a tube tech. Which is kind of like teaching a mule to tap-dance, but he's certainly brave and dedicated for trying, and has shown me many, many kindnesses in the process.

--I think that he's really captured the essence of what AK is about. Through his many projects, and obvious love of this hobby of ours, I've learned more from his work than I ever could have on my own. His contributions have motivated me to learn how to build things I've never thought I'd be able to.

--Great guy I'd like to meet someday.

--Jay is the most giving & unselfish person AK could hope to have as a member.

--He is, at least to me, what AK is and should always be.

Jay, on behalf of Audiokarma and its members, I congratulate you on this singular honour. You have my personal congratulations, as well. You are most deserving of this recognition for all you have brought to AK. I hope that you can make it to the Fest, so that I can shake your hand, and present you with your award.

It was close, folks.

I’d like to take this opportunity to let you know about our ‘Honourable Mentions'. Either of these gentlemen could easily have won, with the flurry of last-minute voting. Gentlemen, you should be gratified by the knowledge that your peers value your contributions to Audiokarma, and sought recognition for you.

Our runner-up, in this photo finish, was tentoze. He was recognized by others, not only for the tireless work he does, keeping AK the kind of place that we like to visit, but for his generous sharing of his knowledge of music, and for his sense of humour.

In third place, only one vote behind tentoze, was the one and only, thedelihaus. Paul received acclaim from his peers for his humour, insight, and enthusiasm. Many voters made mention of his generosity, which I have experienced firsthand, as well.

Gentlemen, each of you is a credit to the site, and it is my distinct privilege to know you. Thank you for all you contribute to Audiokarma.
 
Congratulations to you jaymanaa.

Congratulations to tentoze.

Congratulations to thedelihaus

Congrats also to all of the others that folks voted for. You all touched someone in a positive way.

Congratulations Jay!

I met Jay this fall at Army's place during the midwest festIII. He is definately a geat guy in all senses of the word. It was nice to have met you.

My congrats to Jay. I read his posts, but never knew what he did behind the scenes...

I have to agree with the vote for Toze too... Yeah, we don't all hit it off with him. but he is ONE HELL of a guy in my books for dealing with all of us with half a smile :D

And to Paul.. He is by far the most inspiring person I have ever known especially knowing what he has been dealt..

I think we have a lot of very special people on this board that weren't mentioned, and because of all of them, that's why I call this my home outside of my 4 walls..
