Hey, thanks Carole. I
Hey, thanks Carole. I totally missed that. Didn't even know KnoxViews was in the running.
Heh
Tip 'o the hat to our generous host. And how about an "OK, then." for old times sake?
OK, then.
OK, then.
Well Done
A man outstanding in his field! (as long the field has a wifi connection close by)
Congratulations Randy.
Yeah, that is very cool.
Yeah, that is very cool. Thanks for hosting and congrats, skb!!
O' Great and Powerful Neal!
Kudos to the man behind the curtain.
I have visions of Randy juggling four blogs, a successful software company, dog ownership, a running chainsaw, and putting up with all of us at the same time...AND...With a smile on his face.
Well done, Brother!
One small question: How did Instapundit even get on the runner up list?
Congratulations!
Steve
winners
I wish people would think a little past voting for the sports figures.... Buzz Peterson actually won Best Knoxvillian a few years back, but at least R.Neal is mentioned in a contest with Bruce Pearl.
RCN
Anybody seen tonight's edition of the RCN? Just wondering what was in it.
Congrats
Brian A.
I'd rather be cycling.
Congratulations! And thanks
Congratulations! And thanks for the OK, then.
Now, can someone tell me where the rest of the Best of items are on that wacky new website?

Now, can someone tell me where the rest of the Best of items are on that wacky new website?
That's what I've been trying to figure out too. I'm beginning to think the new website is designed badly on purpose to get people like me to pick up the paper edition again.
And Randy - congrats, and thanks.

"You Done Good"
Who knew the demise of SKB would lead to this?
Congratulations and thanks for keeping this motley crew connected.
It's obvious that these pages are a work of love because there were several times when it would have been far easier to just pull the plug and set us adrift.

Thank you Randy
From me to you, a big congratulations and a bigger thank you for all the crap you put up with over on BV. Perhaps a bigger thank you needs to go to your Mrs. I can only imagine the conversations you two have as the mess unfolds.
No one at the blogger breakfast last year could have imagined where we would be today.
Who wants to do breakfast! I highly suggest we go to Roane county this time!

Roane County Breakfast?
Hmmm...can't think of any place that serves beer that early.

P.S. Thanks to everyone who nominated/voted for* KnoxViews. I really appreciate your participation and support.

Aha! That's how Putz made runner up...
