Hugo Rules?

What Pleasantville said about whether Charles Brown won a Hugo for
SemiProzine, and what Swatjester's denial of it means.  Such a
statement is only true in a sense so superficial that by uttering it,
he demonstrates a complete ignorance of what he is talking about.  It
is like someone writing articles claiming that World War I was caused
by the assassination of the Archduke, or that dollars are not issued
by the U. S. Government (on the basis that they are issued by Federal
banks), or that either GWB or the GOP won the 2004 prez election but
not both.  It looks like something so apparent that it could be proved
mathematically, but the first thing anyone learns about the subject
is that things don't actually work that way.  CNB won the SPmz Hugo,
Locus won the SPmz Hugo, and the two statements are synonymous in the
language as she is spoke.  (Disclaimer:  I have worked on Worldcons
and voted on Hugo awards, but I'm pretty sure I never heard of any
Denny Crane.  I'm pretty sure Shatner has won a Hogu or two, even if
the winner was listed as a novel.)  -Dan Hoey 01:01, 14 September 2007
