I am curious what would not have surprised you.
To me there were perhaps four possibilities: Outlaw, Illinoise, Days of, and Suffs. Objectively, I think all of them have reasons not to vote for them with Outlaw having the least such reasons. (Subjectively, I would have voted for Illinoise, but I understand why some would be hesitant.
I think my biggest surprise (continues to be since I have said this before) the degree to which the selectivity in the membership of this organization has deteriorated. I recognize that it is silly to include only top tier print outlets in the internet age, but there are some inclusions that would have a hard time making the cut as secondary. |
