MIDORI MILLER IS A FOOL IF SHE THINKS THAT LENN SELECTS ARTICLES FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE SHEER ENJOYMENT OF READING AN ACTIVERAIN MEMBER'S CREATION. 
WHAT makes an article worthy of being selected for a special
?- Does it make us smile?
- Does it provide timely information in an interesting read?
- Does it hold the reader's interest to the end of the article? That's a real test. How often do we start an article only to find ourselves thinking of something else? Only a fool would post an article before reading it through themselves. It's recommended that if the writer dozes off mid-way through that it be edited. We aren't paid by the word. On the other hand, posting 10 lines about a subject doesn't really fool anyone. The articles below were all worth of a

Lola Audu and Midori Miller, the managers of the Bloggers Choice Selections Group, are FOOLS if they believe
that Lenn is going to go bleary-eyed reading posts to the group for the last few weeks and not post
