Doh! Thanks, but you guys spoiled it! :) See my mail to them below---I was just hoping that this gets quietly resolved before it leaks! Seriously, it should say *DSH* wins the award! (Or D-star, if it's not confusing enough---the librarian and the republican should be part of the "team" as well.) It's totally the case that a zillion nice dudes and dudettes did it and I mostly sleep at home! From high-brow Khomeini to lowly mules who smuggle equipment into India. (The chicken was already asking me where to engrave his name.) So, CONGRATS to the TEAM!! The TEAM won!! Repeat after me!! :) Anyways, I'm still hoping that they'll change the wording. There's a also going to be a little cash award and it also goes to the DSH piggy bank. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Randolph Wang <rywang@cs.princeton.edu> Date: Wed, Mar 26, 2008 at 3:59 PM Subject: Re: ACM Lawler Award To: "Bhatti, Nina" <nina.bhatti@hp.com> Cc: Rosemary McGuinness <mcguinness@hq.acm.org> Hi Nina, Thank you very much for the award! :) It's a great honor! Here's a stupid request. If possible, could you make the awardee "the Digital StudyHall team" instead of me? :) I ask because you just said that the award could recognize an individual or a *group*. Alternatively, if my name is cast in stone by some committee already, could you make it as something like "Randy Wang and the Digital StudyHall team"? (Hey, even Al Gore had to share the Nobel with a UN team :) Thanks again! Randy On Wed, Mar 26, 2008 at 3:13 AM, Bhatti, Nina <nina.bhatti@hp.com> wrote:
