Congratulations to you and the Knoxville team. But after all, this is just one more feather in the cap of a paper that has long lead the way in online journalism. I would expect nothing less.

Congratulations.
But of course, you've already won the most prestigious award of the year :-)
It was good seeing you Saturday.
Thanks Gina and Howard! Yes, being on Howard's list is the biggest prize of the year. Is that a Howie?
