Reports of the CotoBlogzz’s Demise Highly Exaggerated
August
1,
2007
In
discussions in the Coto Discussion Forum, shortly
after the 2007-2008 CZ Master Association board of
directors’ election results were announced,
re-elected incumbent
Jerry Mezger characterizes elections results as a
victory: “This vote also
means that virtually the entire community has tuned
you out because they see how ridiculous your emails
and blog are”.
Mezger’s
election results’ spin not withstanding, the facts
of course were that a newcomer received more votes
than the three incumbents (including Mezger) seeking
re-election, combined and the CotoBlogzz established a
new record for readership in May 2007, followed by a
new record in June, and a new one in July!
