Question: most of the “others” have their post title listed. Mine has the name of my site. Any reason? I’d prefer the topic. Thanks for hosting.

Hi there! Thanks for listing my post in the top 8! But when I clicked on the link to Free Money Finance’s article about contributing to your 401k, my blog popped up instead. Can you check that out? Thanks!

Nice, I guess I’ll have to place a link to this blog in my “other” section too.

I was really hoping for more hateful and negative comments as I only selected 8 articles. I did not intend to say some of the posts were not as good (well some aren’t) but I realized a lot of the carnivals are just traffic seeking writers. The top 8 are just the articles I felt were the most helpful to readers of my website. I am sorry if you were not selected and I offer you this strange online =hug=. I hope that feels better and not patronizing as it does while I write but I hope when you read the next carnival of finance you may not have to sift through 75 posts.

Hey thanks for putting me first, although my blog is called Entrepreneur’s Journey and that article was on my blog. BetterEdit.com is a business I run but had nothing to do with that article.
Thanks for hosting the carnival.

My post wasn’t even linked to! You bastard! I am going to come down to your little startup and ki… Oh wait. I didn’t submit a post. Oops.
Noah, as the next host, I think you may have (accidentally?) stumbled upon a better way of hosting this Carnival. I think hosts need to take a more active role in hosting instead of just being HTML monkeys for 4 hours on a Sunday. Thanks for being the pioneer (and therefore taking a lot of the $%&)

[...] At the very least, read all the articles that were submitted and exclude spam and scams. As the host and editor, you have the prerogative to exclude any submission you think is inappropriate. However, it’s important to show respect to all submitters who are participating in good faith. In other words, don’t take the attitude like the one exhibited by okdork in #42. The host did highlight his favorites, but all others were shown little respect, and that’s not what this Carnival is about. [...]

[...] Carnival Monday! Posted on April 3rd, 2006 in Fetch Blogs by The_Prof (H G Stern, LUTCF) The Carnival of the Capitalists is up over at Jotzel (is that a cool blog name, or what?). An interesting twist this week is the ability to vote for your favorite post (hint: Bob’s item on health insurance and dating). For something a bit unusual, try Joe Kristan’s post about the Iowa Interior Design Board (a.k.a. “your tax dollars at work”). Okdork blog has finally posted this week’s episode of the Carnival of Personal Finance. It includes an interesting post, from Search Light Crusade, about the games that lenders play, as well as a helpful spreadsheet to help make sense of all the different rates and points. I must add, though, that I am singularly unimpressed with Okdork’s hosting efforts. Although it includes but 40 articles, they highlighted only eight, and then threw the rest into a kind of jumbled up mishmash. By contrast, the folks at Jotzel had well over 50 posts (25% more content), yet they organized and commented on each one. And they had their carnival up many hours before Okdork (which, by the way, couldn’t even be bothered to get the name of the carnival right). [...]
