Martin: I tend to find that people are more critical when there's no apparent "reason" to the choices. Which is kind of sad, since you should trust people to have good judgment, or something like that. And it's good that your intentions are succeeding. :P Owen: Heh. Well, hopefully this nomination betters your cause. And IKnight's work is very strong as well, but it's not quite as accessible to me as Jeff Lawson's. Though I'm not sure that that's what he'd want either. :3 rbw: No prob.

I've been really overwhelmed with my blog reading as of late, so I'm sorry if you had to prod me to this post (despite my seeing it earlier), but thanks for the nominations. I'm always humbled by the fact that people like what I write, and needless to say, being "thought provoking" is what I've always set out to be -- it's the only award I'd really care to win. I am quietly amused by our slight differences in our picks for "Best Editorial Blog", but you know why that's the case. Just goes to show what we're most partial to! What Martin said.

I must admit the ABA is an interesting concept, not just because of the obvious exposure to new blogs (I've added several to my feedreader since this project started) but also people's individual opinions: I've been nominated for the editorial category but you've set out a (very flattering!) reason for nominating me for episodic blogging too. For the record, I try to aim for a bit of both but getting recognition for either is encouraging. ^_^ The problem I'm finding is that quite a lot of the blogs I'll be nominating deserve to be nominated in more than one category - except there are so many on my list of candidates that I might have to nominate each one for just one category each to avoid missing anyone out entirely!

Continue to do what you, Jeremy and Ray have been doing. Or make it even better. :P Hung: It's more of the fact that you wield strong influence with what you say, like with the whole 9rules situation and even in bringing up the ABA. 21stcenturydigitalboy: "Off the wall" would be a good way to put it. :3 wah: You say what you feel like, and you do apparently enjoy the responses you get from some of the more "inflammatory" things that you've said. Or having Something Awful bash you for any reason. Kabitzin: It will be interesting to see how that will work. There's still definitely a lot work to be done with that. omo: It’s certainly a good talent to have, especially when BSing. :P

I'm really curious to see what is planned for the indie version, and what kind of criticisms will pop up there (can't please everyone).
