The last couple of comments on John Scalzi’s post about the Hugo ebook giveaway have been from people who have just bought Supporting Memberships solely so that they could get the books and vote. Here’s hoping that we get a whole bunch more of them. Of course any moment now Kevin is going to email me to tell me that people on SMOFs are demanding that Supporting Members be stripped of their voting rights to stop this sort of thing happening in the future. Can’t have people who are “not part of our community” voting now, can we? I mean, good grief, some of them might be science fiction fans, and that would never do. Thankfully there are way too many sensible people around for these sorts of ideas to have much influence any more.
