Okay.  Using my powers as current RACCies Dictator (err Administrator) I 
change the Best Flame War Award into the Best Discussion Award.

RACC15.  BEST FLAMEWAR:  by thread, not instigator

shall now be and until another RACCies Dictator (err Administrator) 
changes it be known as...

RACC15.  BEST DISCUSSION:  by thread, not instigator

Please change your ballots accordingly...

Thank You.
