Wow…I Don’t Know What to Say…..

This morning, I got an e-mail from old pal Drew Wagenhoffer congratulating me on making Civil War Interactive’s list of the top twenty Civil War sites. I thanked Drew, but I had no idea what he was talking about.

I then went to CWI to see what he meant, and boy, was I blown away.

Every year, CWI runs a poll of its readers to determine the top twenty Civil War sites on the Internet. Nearly 500 people voted, and I was absolutely flabbergasted to find that this humble little blog of mine placed number 14 on that list. I started this on a whim, and it’s taken on a life of its own.

Until I saw that list, I never realized that this blog has affected so many people’s lives or that so many people take time out of their busy days to visit this site and indulge my rantings. I’m just blown away and don’t really know what to say. I’m humbled and I’m grateful, and I hope that I continue to entertain and interest you and that you will continue to spend a few minutes of your day visiting this site.

To everyone who reads this blog, and to everyone who voted for this site, I am eternally grateful. Thank you.

Congratulations are in order to all of the others who made the list. I especially want to say congratulations to Dimitri Rotov and Mannie Gentile, who also made the list. A special congratulations goes to old friend Dick “Shotgun” Weeks, whose incredible site richly deserves its number one ranking. Congratulations, Dick.
