The list of Hugo nominees for this year came out last week, and soon afterward, as predictable as the tide of toxic sludge in my home state of New Jersey, came the complaints.

Well, Jed Hartman has attempted to answer all of those complaints..not that I expect it will do much good; the people who complain seem to prefer complaining to actually nominating or voting themselves (or doing anything constructive whatsoever). But he's got a pretty comprehensive list of all the things people complain about, with both the reasons why things are that way, and ways that the complainers could help make changes.
