No one on this thread has been vitriolitic so far and your anger doesn't help a bit. And to be fair, that's exactly what happened: some went through the process of submitting their shows using the existing rules, and others disagreed with said process and did not, period. Don't get me wrong, I like the ENnies a lot, always have; my refusal to submit my two shows for consideration was a decision based on this one particular aspect, not as a blanket condemnation of the awards. I knew full well what I was doing, and I stand by it. I came here to explain because the question was asked why only a small number of podcasts submitted when it is well known there are at least 3 to 4 times as many out there.To restate, I, and most other podcasters, did not have a problem with the limit on shows submitted, so in order to submit for consideration, you had to have at least 6 shows under your belt, immediately weeding out a bunch of new, every-so-often and false-start shows. The objection I and others had was against the actual submission process with the CDs, not with the limit on shows.Be that as it may, neither of you is in any kind of position to judge whether someone's principles are valid or not, so these parts of your comments are entirely irrelevant.Please also note that already a solution was found that was agreeable to both the parties, that being to have a "consolidation house" for the podcasts submitted where one CD would have the required number of shows for a variety of podcasters, thus cutting down the amount of CDs mailed, and making things easier for everyone involved. While I personally still think there is room for improvement in the submission process, and that digital downloads should be used for digital products instead of CDs, the consolidation idea works just fine until changes to the submission process can be evaluated and implemented in the future.</blockquote>
