Dear Readers, last chance to vote for 3QD!!!
UPDATE 03/26/06: Polls for the Koufax Awards close today. Please vote now!
Of the more than 300 semi-finalists each in the Best Group Blog and the Blog Most Deserving of Wider Recognition categories, 3 Quarks Daily has made it into the top 10 finalists in each, thanks to your earlier votes! If all our readers vote for us one more time, we can actually win this, we think, and that would get us some needed attention. The competition is very tough this time, and we need every vote!
So, I must ask you to vote for us AGAIN, one last time, by sending an email to wampum@nic-naa.net with the word "Koufax" in the subject line, and in the body of the email, put the following line:
I vote for 3 Quarks Daily for Best Group Blog AND Blog Most Deserving of Wider Attention.
Please just do it NOW, as the voting is not open for long. Thanks a million!

I like your blog, but I don't quite understand what you mean by "needed attention."
Seriously, how much attention do you need?

Jon,
Sorry to have irritated you. I suppose everything is relative, and we would certainly like to be in the top 100 blogs (somewhere, anywhere). This might help us pay our bills as well, since we are making about 2 dollars a day from advertising (though someone did recently donate $10 to us also). How much attention is enough? I confess, I am a vain man. It's never enough...

I understand (and share) the need for attention, but the rose, the rose baffles me.
Vote 3QD!

"I couldn't tear myself away from 3 Quarks Daily, to the point of neglecting my work. Congratulations on this superb site."—Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology, Harvard University.
Pinker is right. People are lying around in front of their PCs, engorging themselves on a surfeit of intellectual fodder from 3QD, like lions around a big kill. Too much! Talk about baseball scores, or curling, and give us addicts a rest!

I just find it a strange way to put things. But there we go.

Dear Jon,
If I didn't phrase my request for your vote as delicately as I perhaps should have, I apologize once again.
You could, after all, just ignore it if it displeases you so much. But then again, where would the fun be in that?
I happen to agree with aguy109 that we are giving you too much fodder. We'll try and slack off a bit... :-)

Abbas, you seem to insist on misreading me. I haven't said I was either "irritated" or "displease[d]." I simply asked a question, then made a comment.
Chill.

Dear Jon,
If I were to take your somewhat condescending advice and "chill" I shouldn't reply to you at all. Nevertheless, I'll say this: my attributing irritation and displeasure to you was simply a reaction to your asking how much attention I need. I need a lot, and I thank you for giving me some.
So much for your question. As for your comment, I honestly don't understand it, and so cannot respond to it.
In any case, cheers...

Hi Lindsay.
I've always thought Pink roses are for friendship. Seems apropriate here.

I voted. In most elections I write myself in, but i'll make an exception this time. Keep up the good work.

This site already demands intensive brainpower just to half-way keep up. And now you want my vote, too?!
Sheesh.
[Happily done, btw.]
