Since you posted this here in the public, Skammie, let me reply here. I did not lie. A mistake was made, and your link got inadvertantly left off. Your attitude is puzzling: you started right off the bat in an accusatory way, when there was no reason to. Why not assume it was an honest error first and then work from there?

As promised, I have added your link.

Well, it's too late now, but why did you lie Phil? I posted a link in your comments as you requested, but you gave me no link to my blog in the above post. Why? That's what I want to know. Why did you lie, why did you make an empty promise? Should you have put that you would link to your favorite blogs that supported you? That you would list the blogs that got you the most votes? Sorry if I am but a pebble in the stream of blogging, but you went back on your word.

Thanks BA -no idea my name (ie ‘Sky & Spaces’ – I write for ‘em & recomend ‘em to all Southern hemisphere-ers & any curious northern hemisphere-ers too folks) would be so high on the list!

Thanks again Phil, the Kraken may have won this round but the vertebrates will strike back in ’07 don’t worry!

Oh & PZ, be warned, I keep a harpoon by the door! Remember who came off second best in “20,000 Leagues under the Sea’?

(Or should that be “Fathoms under the sea?”)

So no linky to my blog? Fine. Damn, I didn't know that I had to know you personally. Shoot, I almost wish I voted for Pharyngula now.

Has an octopus infiltrated this website? My reputation has been blackened by its ink! I nominated Bad Astronomy only. It was in response to somebody else nominating Pharyngula.

Nuts, Karl. You were there, but there were issues with some editing. I’ll put you back in. Sorry!

Hey! I’m not in there. Did I have to be an unequivocal supporter? I still voted for you twice!

It was a good fight and it was my pleasure entirely to mention you. Keep asking questions! Thanks.

So I put a link on my myspace blog to vote for you, added a comment to your post about linking to the blogs, and no mention.

Thanks Phil for keeping your word.

I know with a list that large it’s easy to omit some of the smaller fry, so I’ll go ahead and make my own mention here as one of your very loyal readers (20 linked articles this year and a ballot stuffer).

Well done on a fine year of blogging and here’s to another fine year coming up.

I do believe that Prof Myers is trying to be a sore winner! (j/k) A well run race by all concerned in my opinion and there’s always next year.

I never went to the “winners” blog site before. When I linked into the subject site, I read this line “Evolution, development, and random biological ejaculations from a godless liberal”. What? This is #1?

Thank you http://www.badastronomy.com for all of those spectacular astronomical pictures you provided us in 2006. And, we got to see those photographs on the first page load. Fire up your programming imagination for 2007. I am sure that you will thrust into first PLACE. You did not lose FACE.

Damn, more cool sites I have to make time to read daily! My brain overfloweth.

You ran a good race, but everyone knows the tentacles will come when the stars are right no matter how we voted. The stars were right and we’re tentacle fodder now.
EEK!

Y’know what sucks? When you screw up a comment and your correction gets held in moderation.

That sucks.

Filling the Unforgiving Minute must be EXTRA-good, since it’s listed twice.

NSFW? Us?

By the way, I happen to know that Kissing Corporal Kate and Crowded Head, Cozy Bed have also migrated to WordPress during the campaign. (Bad timing all the way for us.)

Call it inside information.

A-ha! Now I have an enemies list!

I warn you all, if late at night you hear a squelch-squelch-squelch-squelch-squelch-squelch-squelch-squelch noise coming up your walk, followed by a couple of squishy raps at your door, you might not want to answer it.
