But to me, the blogging is about the reader, so it looks like this may still go on for a while yet. :-) Hey Kate,

I ran one for one of my blogs for almost a year and found myself wanting to pull my hair out each week because I either didn't receive enough submissions to bother or I received so many that it ate up an entire day. On top of that, the link-back ratio was pretty awful. Personally, I voted for you to keep it but that's just because I only recently discovered your carnival and want to see mroe of it. :) Ultimately, though, I think you should make whichever decision that allows you to enjoy blogging the most.

We'll see what the poll shows, if people really want it, I will continue and bite the bullet with a big smile. Hey Rick,

Every week I find at least one or two posts that I read. I know from the time or two I hosted a carnival it is a lot of work. I would be ruthless about cutting out multiple submissions. Don't even look at them past the point of finding out they are a duplicate. Eventually people should get the point. I like the carnival, Joe. Every week I find at least one or two posts that I read.
