I am posting here because it’s about the Straight Dope board.
Mr. Randy Cassingham who publishes a great news letter called “THIS is TRUE” had mentioned us as his BONZER WEB SITE OF THE WEEK. I would post the excerpt from his news letter but I subscribe to the Premium edition which can not be forwarded. The free edition will come out Friday night. His Bonzer site is located at http://www.bonzersites.com/
This may have been my doing; I suggested the site as a Bonzer web site a year or two ago…I am no longer a premium subscriber, unfortunately, because I found that I was letting the unread Trues pile up…
Possibly, but I think it has more to do with the person who took him to task on his story about the peace symbol wreath and their ignorance of the origins of the peace symbol (hence his mention in the bonzer posting of SD being a good reference for the origins of the peace symbol). You can read about the whole story on Randy’s Blog: Peace Sign – This is True
So it’s possible that you’re suggestion was in the queue, but this guy may have sped up it’s placement. (From what I understand, he’s got a huge backlogs of Bonzer sites. Makes sense when you only post one a week and no doubt get at least dozens and maybe even hundreds of suggestions in a given week.)
Well good, but will this lead to hundreds of thousands of extra views, like when that Norwegian newspaper mentioned our thread ‘If so-and-so had written Lord of the Rings’?
