You raise an excellent point, geektourist, and I have taken heart from your encouraging words. Thank you. I hope the publishers will, as they have in the past, pay heed as the readers tell them what they want to buy. Therein lies the Golden Power of the Hugos: of all the arts awards I know save the Nova Scotia Fiddle Championship, they are the ONLY one awarded, NOT by an elite body of self-appointed, mutual-back-scratching experts...but by the cash customers: by anyone on earth who cares to bother voting. That makes them worth ten times their weight in Oscars or Booker Prizes. Were you listening this year, publishers? Please say yes...
