Reading your post again, I realise that you weren't attacking Petite at all, just saying that a book deal was better than some strange award. This is perfectly correct. I happen to have a soft spot for Petite because she is the first blogger I ever read, and still enjoy. I have quite a few soft spots for bloggers, of course, and most are women.<BR/>This was certainly a good post. Well done Sally. Oh, and as for that call centre, an excellent response... <BR/>I hope I am still one of your blogging friends!pierre lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13406942134002449700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36173469.post-24159229408521536192007-05-25T06:24:00.000+01:002007-05-25T06:24:00.000+01:00I always read your blog first.

I think it is about time that someone said it! Personally I don't dislike reading any of the blogs mentioned, but I do see what you are saying. With every award that comes out each month, the whole idea of receiving an award is somehow less appealing.<BR/><BR/>And yea, it is the same people each time, and it is very club like. Personally, if I had an award to administer each year, I'd have a policy of not allowing anyone to be nominated if they've previously had a nomination. There are too many blogs out there for the same people to keep receiving the publicity. In my system, you get one shot at winning the award and that is it.<BR/><BR/>Shame no one in the "club" is likely to condecend to read your blog or mine and find out our views on the subject.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36173469.post-14853290081142876062007-05-24T23:26:00.000+01:002007-05-24T23:26:00.000+01:00Who cares about the 'in gang' there might be a fle...Who cares about the 'in gang' there might be a fleeting moment of envy for those people who constantly strive to be forever popular.

Are you supposed to worry about how well you write or should you just enjoy doing it?...providing of course you are not outright abusive to others. <BR/>To me,someone who writes well is someone I enjoy reading whether other people agree or not. It's an individual thing,surely?......I do enjoy reading Sally Writes 'cause it's a bloody good read and I love that Pierre has put me in Sallys circle!!!!Xheadless chickenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00125415670387276535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36173469.post-25442225707270570002007-05-24T21:55:00.000+01:002007-05-24T21:55:00.000+01:00Hi Sally.

At all..........<BR/><BR/>I just think that, a bit like the Eurovison Song Contest, it's not a proper contest if there are no proper external judges and nominators.<BR/><BR/>I like many of the blogs that are in the famous circle - and indeed have them on my blogroll. I am just not keen on Johnny B - for reasons stated, and I think that blogging - like Petite said - is a two way thing...<BR/><BR/>Also, there are so many good people who never even get a sniff at the awards, especially many of the people I read in this part of Blogland - and that is what I intended to point out.<BR/><BR/>I do hope that my post didn't misfire badly.

The comments aren't much fun because she almost never replies to them. She replies to the nastiest comments that she doesn't delete, and does so in a very rude way (bitter is probably the word). I don't know why she gives an e-mail address - I imagine the mailbox gets filled with rude messages in large quantities, and she probably just deletes the whole lot. She needs a secretary or na agent to weed the mail. I have set her a few messages over the last year - the latest one expressing sympathy at an apparent bereavement. I never got a reply. I am sorry - I should have warned you when you said you had sent her a message.<BR/><BR/>Petite gets nowhere near the same amount of traffic. She replies to comments, she has replied to the private messages I have sent and she has previously stated that she welcomes private messages when people want to say something and not have it published. I cannot comment on whether she writes well, but I enjoy it.<BR/><BR/>Anna Pickard (and her sister Meg) are much more approachable. I have sent her e-mails and always got a reply (providing she wasn't away). And I love reading her as well.<BR/><BR/>We now come to the Sally circle (extended to include Ig, HC, Wendz, AliceBand, plus many other regulars including Wendy and Keith). I always start my reading session with you Sally, and follow links to the other regular commentors. I do love you all. And the interaction is great fun.<BR/><BR/>Actually, I must admit that I actually always start with Clare Sudbery - I am worried about her at the moment (just like Wendz said in a reply to a comment recently, you get cyber-attached to people and become concerned for them).<BR/><BR/>I am very sorry that you are unhappy at the moment Sally, I apologise for taking up so much space and hope you go back to being your happy self really soon.<BR/><BR/>So much for thinking that I had commentor's block today!pierre lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13406942134002449700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36173469.post-6695629833175981512007-05-24T21:01:00.000+01:002007-05-24T21:01:00.000+01:00You tell 'em Sally.
