tanks a lot

So we had a lively discussion over the message board along with a vote on scrapping the lottery.

The lottery stays. For now. The voters have spoken. But we're still waiting for someone to make a compelling argument in its favour. Tradition and entertainment value seem to be its strongest points.

By now I think that the lottery and indeed the word "tanking" has lost whatever sting of the moral lash it once had. At least in the AHHL.
