...hold the emails. My email box is jammed to the point of crashing, with requests for a STU'D chip. I feel certain most of you deserve the award for past instances on this BB.

BUT:

The framers of the STU'D awards had to make some tough decisions.
Being STU'D has become so common place we decided we could not go back in time for instances of being STU'D. The award can only be awarded for getting STU'D from this date forward and we will have to evaluate each instance. Not all instances will recieve the award. We have a tough criteria for an instance to be considered as being STU'D.
