>> A maybe 
stupid question....but why were write-in votes done away with?  Is it 
because it was too much work to put together?  Trusted it would be a lot of 
work but I feel this gives non judge members a say in what they think should 
be considered the best of the best. >>

This was answered recently.  No write-in votes received a sufficient
number of votes to make it to the top 100.

There are twenty-four tabulators (each RVP) so it is not too much
work to count write-ins.  It's just a fact there never were enough
to count, so why continue this exercise in futility?

<<Not all members wish to become judges.  Some are true gardeners...people who 
love to tend the Earth.  It is there choice to not be a judge but that 
doesn't mean they don't have a say. >>

So judges are not true gardeners, just a title??  Fooled me!  It's
the same thing as saying a Master Gardener (which you list among
your credentials) is not a gardener either but just a title.  Master
Gardener sounds like a title one earns from years of toiling in the
soil.  Fooled me again!!
