First, I'd Like to Thank the Academy

...as well as my fiancée, my Mom and Dad, my brother and his wife, my teammates at CooperKatz (I love you "guys"), the dog (OK, I don't have one), Elvis Presley, Ivy Lee and Edward Bernays for this fabulous honor. Oh yeah and Hans Kullin at Media Culpa for dreaming up this "study"/stunt, but really, I'm no Tom Murphy or Phil Gomes. I am just a rookie. Hey Hans, why is Phil absent, because he's at E3? Cmon, is there a write-in? Recount! Recount!

Seriously, thanks, but we are all influential as a group.

Steve:

You're definitely my number one PR guru! You're doing great work... take that well-deserved bow.

You might be a rookie, but you're still the one that we all like to read. And I knew I would forget somebody, my excuse is that I havent read Phil Gomes blog. Sorry 'bout that, but it's all just a laugh anyway. I'm reading "Trust us, we're experts" right now about how industry manipulates us with pseudo science. I guess I got inspired ;-)

I'd have to agree with Hans. You're frequency and breadth of coverage is a bit daunting in fact. I don't know how you have find time to do actual work!
