Near final “Trenchie” categories and nominations
I am going to start the Trenchie voting tomorrow night with these categories and choices (listed after the jump). Last minute nominations can still be made before that time. Each category can be voted on for two days. If you have difficulty voting, votes can be sent by email. I have tried to avoid purely subjective categories as I think that they will result in too much dissension.

There should be a trenchy award on trencherwomen archives of the month in 2006. After reviewing all of the months of this calender year , the month of May 2006(New Nathans qualifiers and IFOCE websites) has the most humorous if not opinionated comments ever known to man. There are 31 comments in that category and most of them are NEGATIVE!
