I just want to thank all of you who have shown such overwhelming support for myself, for AegisKnight, and most importantly, to the staff at NoFactZone.net during this election process. I don’t know what’s going to happen today – Avery might go by the numbers, or it’s entirely possible (and some say even probable) Avery might decide to go in a “different direction” as they say. But no matter what happens, we’ve fought the good fight, and we’ve had a ton of fun with this thing.

We’ve gotten to see that NoFactZone.net readers are good people, and that they truly appreciate the work that we do here. I know I do. This morning, I got up (groggy, because AGAIN I stayed up too late politicking), and looked on the blog, and it was so cool – there was so much new great stuff, and it was like getting to be a “reader” of NFZ instead of one of the worker bees. My staff finds some really good stuff and writes some amazing stories, and I was really hit today with the fact that I am so proud of the work that we all do every day. We do a good blog, and there’s absolutely no way I could do this without the work of my staff. So I’d like to say a very public Thank You to MsInterpreted, Jennie, WordsWithGrace, Kinaesthesia, and TheLakeEffect.

I’d also like to say a huge thank you to all of our readers who send us in tips and links, and to the readers who give us such great feedback in the comments. Although the staff is the one who blogs, it’s the comments and feedback that really bring this blog alive and make me realize that while I do this blog simply for my own sanity, we are grateful that the work is appreciated by so many different people.

I guess that’s it for now. So now we wait.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled Stephen. Now, normally at this point at what we affectionately call a “Navel Gazing” post, for tolerating with us talking about ourselves instead of talking about Stephen we bring out my very favorite picture. You know the one. But we’ve had a bit of a Favorite Picture Coup with the publishing of the Vanity Fair article. Because dear God, did you *see* the pic? But since the beginning of this blog, we’ve embraced the Chair picture because it embodies all that is good and right with the world. We’ve hit a bit of a crossroads. We’re not above changing things up, but we’ve also got a deep seeded faith in the traditions of this blog, and the Chair picture has been a fixture from the beginning. But dear God, did you *see* the Vanity Fair pic? We just don’t know what to do.

So we’re taking it to the masses – which picture should we go with for the “reward” picture? A (for Tradition) or B (for sheer hotness)?
