   I think POTM is pretty much dead. At least, I have not been reading t.o.   
   sedulously enough to track nominations, and there may not be enough   
   regulars left for a meaningful vote.   
      
   But if POTM were still viable, you would need to post the nomination as   
   a following to the nominated post, quoting all that post, and with   
   "POTM" appended to the subject line.
