I am all in favor of USENET awards.  I agree that the awards need a 
catchy name, and I would like to propose that they be named after my
mythical friend William P. Baboquivari.  William P was a hacker,
strange person par excellens, and Arch-Druid of Chapel Hill.  If he 
were still around, he would be single-handedly holding up net.nlang.celts.
(biography available on request)

Therefore I propose that the USENET awards be called

     The Willy Awards

in the tradition of Oscars, Tonys, Emmys, etc.  This has the added
advantage that if the views of, say, Ken Arndt give me the willies,
I can nominate him to receive a Willy too.
