So... If I read all the entries in a category and *I* decided none of them are up to the standards of the past 50 years, then I need to keep my mouth shut and not register my opinion? Really? The 'No Award' is there for a reason, and just because you don't like it doesn't mean my use of it "Dishonors" anybody. I read most of the categories that the SP/RP owned and *none* deserved an award. If I had voted this year, the slates would have all been "No Award". If the puppies think they are being underrepresented, they need to nominate stories that can compete. Not second-rate pulp.
