To the fellow whose product didn't win the Jolt, and who buttonholed me afterwards to tell me how much better your product's features were than the winner's:
Don't do that.
Next year I'll probably be judging your product again. I promise you that I will try as hard as I can next year to forget what you said. Nor will I tell the other judges who you were.
So show some class, OK? Thank you.

Now, this is un-cool.
Maybe vendors need to know that we are Jolts Judges, not Jury Members. The big difference is that we decide for ourselves, we do not have to reach for a negotiated consensus.
Thus, if a product gets a Jolt, it is not because one influential person has been pushing it, but because a majority voted for.
Oh c'mon. Tell us who it was.
And if not that, at least tell us which category!
It's not nice to tease!
