And for the record, I wasn't contesting Tom’s nomination for Breakthrough Talent of 2015, merely pointing out a potential problem I thought needed clarification. I didn't vote for him because I voted for him last year—just my personal perspective—but I have no problem with others voting for him or with him winning back-to-back, as he did some great (and I would argue, better) work this year.
And don't downgrade your knowledge, Chris, because the CGC graders aren't as consistent as people might think. I have plenty of anecdotal evidence from people who regularly use the service as to just how inconsistent they can be. Grading is a lot like umpiring in baseball in that there is a bit of subjectivity involved even though there are firm rules and guidelines. I think it's that subjectivity that makes grading seem so mysterious to some. A tutorial should certainly demystify some of that.
Oh, the number of participants increased? From last year or from the nominations?
Pants: "I could watch Karen Page for days!" Yeah, I agree. / The British money: That was funny. /Thanks for the convention updates and other comic talk. / Murd: "I trusted you to observe this for yourself." Hahaha! / BvS:DoJ: Non-spoiler review: I somewhat liked it.
