I keep seeing claims about a certain kook who won KOTM in March 1998,
but he has always denied it. There is a mention on a website & an
announcement in the archives, but there are other things too. It seems
like the archives are incomplete, and perhaps we will never have 100%
certainty. Looking at posts that were recently quoted & doing some
digging, I wonder if Tholen is correct - perhaps the honour did really
go to Strang.

Lest anyone get the wrong idea, I am not trying to cast doubt on this
award out of any notion that Tholen is not a kook. I would like to see
the questionable election overturned so that we could nominate him
again, but this time all would be done properly and documented properly
and there would not be any question that he really is KOTM.
