Hi Alpine, there's a month to vote. No rush. ;)

Well, apparently where it says on page 1 of this thread you need to vote before 7 November that was a typo and it should have been October, because winners have been announced already. Congratulations to the winners. Sadly, I did not vote and possibly neither did others, because of this error.
