As a staff member at Lamoneta.it, I would like to thank by heart Mr McCabe for
his words of appreciation.
His posts on Lamoneta.it are always welcome and it would be great if they just came more often.
In any case (even if this may sound as an
excusatio non petita) I would like to stress that there has been no official request from the admins of Lamoneta to join into the poll. The request came from a group of
members, some more
members supported it, others strongly opposed it, a large majority just ignored it. I think this is rather commonplace dynamics for web communities, as correctly noted above. Too bad someone has taken the whole case which such stiff seriousness (
gravitas?) it looked like a
good idea to break FORVM's board rules just in order to prove their own point.
Enough about it. I would like to congratulate the creators and admins of
acsearch.info (which is a great site, although I'm more often on the twin site
mcsearch.info, due to my specific interests) and all the others participating sites. I think Lamoneta.it has fared well in the contest, and I
hope it will be more successfull next year.
Yours
Alessandro Giarante (Paleologo)
