Also, if you enjoy The Lord of the Rings, may I recommend checking out the page of the same name? There's some good links, and I found a really good new one to add while answering the question:

Buddawiggi's answer
Once again Buddwiggi shows why he has the rank he does, giving great advice on how he voted on the undecided questions and what constitutes to him, a "Best Answer". His answer was so in-depth @jeffhoard even linked to it in the new http://www.mahalo.com/how-undecided-voting-works guide.

I personally think that @robbrown gave a very good, in-depth explanation, inserted his own personal experience and gave a link to the mahalo team as well, helping aid the askers question exceptionally. Not only this, but he also came back and added another reply to an additonal question.

We've all seen these threads before, and seen the flamewar between rival factions of Fanboys/Fangirls.... but he cut through all of that and gave a great answer, full of useful information, about how to choose between them.

Provide the steps to vote. I do not see an option on the question to do that.
@Davepamn, Jeff meant on the Q&A itself. You should post a comment there, telling the person you nominated him/her, and include the tiki picture.
like this.
Don't forget to vote @davepamn or else @pixelsival's nomination won't count.
The rules are in the contest description above.
pixelsilva demonstrate excellent knowledge in answering the question. pixelsilva is establishing a series of answers that are high quality and will attract readers from around the world. Watch for pixelsilva to become a black belt. I think his research is excellent.
Hi @davepamn A vote here consists of clicking the "helpful" button.
This thread varies from the normal usage of the helpful and unhelpful system in that way
In order for your nomination of @pixelsilva to count you must click helpful on at least one other entry in this thread.
Robbrown's Answer
Although, I am a part of piracy, I really like the way @robbrown has managed to provide this answer. His answer is broken into 3 parts which makes it easy to read, as well as it is nicely written.
Great Answer Rob !
