Well, what Time actually states is:
"TIME Person of the Year You"
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1569514,00.html?aid=434&from=o&to=http%3A//www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0%2C9171%2C1569514%2C00.html
A brief quote from the Time article:
"It's a story about community and collaboration on a scale never seen before. It's about the cosmic compendium of knowledge Wikipedia and the million-channel people's network YouTube and the online metropolis MySpace. It's about the many wresting power from the few and helping one another for nothing and how that will not only change the world, but also change the way the world changes."
And Brickboard is a part of it.
Of course, we knew that.
We just didn't know we (and everyone else) were Person of the Year.
Good work, people.

Well,
First off I'd like to thank the guys that have made these sites possible,
the brickboard, dana from t-bricks, and all the members from these communities that spend the time to help others and offer advice and insight.
I'd like to thank family and friends, 'preciate the support.
Looks like I'm running outta time, I'm gettin the boot off stage here it seems.
Lastly, I'd also like to thank the buds and buddah for the path of enlightenment.
Thank you Time magazine for the award.

No offense intended, but Time took a "cop-out" "solution" The fact is that the internet has been building and boosting our economy since the mid 90s, it also damn near bankrupted us in 2000!
I'm not offering an opinion on who it should have been, but perhaps their "winner" should have been no one! We all lost! Oh, wait, I know who is winning financially, its the Lawyers! In particular the immigration lawyers. States pass laws to require employers to check the backgrounds and legal status of applicants, then the employer gets sued for discrimination for asking the questions and doing the checks!
Gee, seems like the Lawyers have both the give and take of money and law in their pockets! Now we all pay!
Ouch, no flames please!

Got to agree on this. The lamest "Man of the Year" ever. In keeping with Time's philosophy on this years choice next years's "Man of the Year" should be........everyone again.
