After our “South Africa Pioneer Wine Bloggers” post yesterday, we received an objection from Mr Indie himself, Neil Pendock. According to Mr Pendock, we should have opted to go with an alphabetical list instead. Neil requested an apology from winetimes.
Neil we are truly sorry for putting you second, but seriously, it would have been so predictable to see you in first place. It would have been similar to one of those shows on channel 124: “Ladies and gentleman, E-entertainment channel brings you the number one sexiest man alive … Brad Pitt.” Big surprise! Way to boring so we had to spice it up and luckily Neil’s blog was there to lend a hand.
How was this post count conducted? Firstly Neil, our low cost budget reporting could unfortunately not finance a ‘Poll’ (which you make reference to). We looked at all the known bloggers’ archives and counted the posts per month as of January 2009. Unlike an election, no votes were cast in this case.
To conclude, Neil we do sincerely apologize. We always regard you as the Obi-Wan Kenobi of the South African wine universe and we know the force is strong with you, but we normal folks can only count what we see.
