Ain't it funny though... All the years I nominated and voted I never had *anyone* email a list of *possible* nominees. It's like making generalizations aren't always true. Until this year (when I neither nominated or voted), I've always nominated and voted on what *I* thought was the best piece of work. And I would believe that *most* of the Hugo voters are more like me than the complaints about cliques and SJWs.

Are the Hugos important? Not as important as they were pre-internet. Are they perfect? Not close. But I still believe they are a good representation of what's good in SF from year to year. And I intend to continue to support Worldcon. I've already paid for my Worldcon 75 membership and I intend to continue to nominate and vote.
