[RP TownTalk] RP Wiki nominated for top honors

[Dwight Holmes]

Thanks, Rob.  And for any one who hasn't already voted, you can vote
thru July 23rd... after sweeping into 1st place back after I first
posted about it here, we've now slipped into a tie for 3rd (out of 5)
- well at least we're ahead of Hyattsville ;-)
