A few personal observations, you know.
Thread of the Year
It's got to be the "Ian Levine SWONS/Mecca" one for the sheer number of posts and views.
My own favourite was the "Stafford tunes" in the Media section from March of this year, hugely illuminating for somebody who never went.
Spat of the Year - Joint Award
The running sore that was the Levine versus Trouble verbal punch up, which appears to still have some life left in, based on recent posts.Compelling viewing at times, but ultimately very tiresome.
Beeks versus...... well just about anybody and everybody at one point or another. (Did he really want to get it on with Bully Boy - the very same Ian Bulloch, who in a previous life was a professional cruiserweight boxer, who slugged it out with Johhny Nelson,albeit briefly). The folly of youth,eh?

The Samuel K Amphong "What the f**k is that all about" award
To the numerous threads and posts put up by Barry, which for half of them, I still can't understand
(No offence, Barry)
Media poster of the year
Got to be Baz A. The enthusiasm for the sounds put up by Baz is so heartening and he reckons he's got another 3000 or so to put up. Bring it on, Baz!
Special mention also to Gazman, Les F, Chalky, Ken, Ian Nicol for the significant number of varied and obscure tracks posted by them that continues to make Refosoul an unparalled library of soul sounds.
Special thanks
To the moderators and Mike Hughes in particular for maintaining the site and ensuring that I and many others have a welcome diversion from an often humdrum and boring job. Long may it continue.
