hi Jan, let me just ask you a question: where did you read in my letter that I request such a thing? i suggest to the sponsors to ask the organisers why romand ou ticinese blogs were excluded from the nominations.

with that, i do not want that they retire their support to sbaw. i just want that they maintain a certain pressure on the organisers in order to ensure that next year such things will not occur.

furthermore, i have to precise that i am not in favour of a sbaw boycott which completely unproductive. even in my personal case i cannot come to this event, i hope that several romands or ticinese participate to the sbaw event.

cheers, db.

According to long scientific research, the Massachusetts Institute for Fortean Technology came to the astonishing conclusion that is indeed the number one thing the blogosphère wants to see.

You rock. Keep on rocking, baby.

H,

Well, I invited you to Fumetto and you didn’t come… *sobs*… so I assumed you didn’t want to meet again. Look, I’m sorry if this comes as a surprise, but I’m going out with your fugly twin brother now. He’s soooooooo romantic. *sighs*

thx love. but i admit it, am VERY frustrated with results, because my personal number #2 was not nominated, wurzeltod.ch. nor was my no 1. pasta & vinegar.
i think aramdrillo owners should win a price no questions asked. d’office.

when when when can we meet againnnn???

I just wanted to tell you that you (and your fugly but very smart twin brother) are the best and that no-one else could have organised and coordinated this event better.

Whenever there’s something to win, there’s always one or the other offended diva – it’s the rule of life. I’m sure that sooner or later the tempers will calm down and the case put to rest. It really seems that most bloggers from the Romandie who criticise the outcome of the nominations, didn’t really understand the nomination process.

If you really want to make sure not to get any criticism next time, you’d have to set up a sub-nomination group for every language group in Switzerland, maybe even every canton. Also, people who go shopping at Coop should be listed seperately from people who go shopping at Migros. But that’d be silly, wouldn’t it? The thing is, setting up sub-categories can often even be less representative – about all, if it’s about such a global thing as blogs.

I believe this is a very silly “Machtkampf” that’s going on now. Please, please, don’t let yourself be discouraged by all this.

You rule. And that’s all that counts. My armadillo and I just wanted to make sure that you don’t ever forget this.
