H. P. L. Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 It's that time of year again.Magazines and blogs are putting out their "best of 2012" and, as usual, I am very curious to read my fellow TRFers' best records of this hard year.My list will come in a few days, it will be very short and probably dull, but let me read yours first. I'm sure I will discover something I have missed. If there's something great, put it at the top of the list. I might die after the first 300 names. :P :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
