Askville Mugwumps, it is time to give us an answer once and for all: How is the AOTD selected?

Christian, Mayor, this is directed at you! Obviously there was some kind of laughable oversight today.So just admit it, AOTD is randomly chosen by a computer program, isn't it? Com'on tell us!

Tell us! Does a real person pick the AOTD? What are the criteria?

Or is it a random program? Quit being all cute and coy. We want answers, pretty please!

Today's AoTD is a person who has been banned from Askville. As far as I know "banned" means banned dictionary.reference.com/browse/banned Even if it is a computer-program-generated selection, one would think that the PTB would be on watch close enough to remove it and push the button so that the program could select again. It's a sad commentary - Sources: my opinion heart-cat-heart .

1 HA! That's great. Don't always look at that part of the home page.

One would think that kind of thing would be avoided. It certainly COULD be.

Experiment: please don't answer through Askville, only through mturk.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
