Re: As usual, you make a lot of good points (4.00 / 6)

There appears to be broad agreement that the frontpagers are overworked, underappreciated and that their small number leaves them and ET open to accusations of cliqueishness and institutional bias.

Any philosophical or technical reason why the number couldn't be...say...doubled?

Who do you nominate to be added to the FP team?

Re: As usual, you make a lot of good points (none / 1)

Put me on the spot, why don't you? :)

Well, with apologies to the many able people who don't immediately spring to mind, I've always supposed it was limited numbers that meant DoDo wasn't an FP. And TBG's contributions are of a consistently high standard, though, in the interests of transparency and clique-avoidance, I need to say that I've known him for some time through another site.

Anyone else any nominations?

Re: As usual, you make a lot of good points (none / 1)

I am an FP :-) See frontpage, left column, bottom box. Only I don't post much, and if yes usually as diary.

Oops. I looked for a list-and I still can't see it (!)

Re: As usual, you make a lot of good points (none / 1)

Sorry, my left/right dyslexia again. Frontpage, right column, bottom box (titled Blogroll), third group of links from top titled THE FRONT PAGERS. Once but no more frontpagers are mentioned, too.

I'm not sure I dare look, in case TBG is on there as well :)

One nomination, then. :)

As I was saying before I messed up-any more?
