First, I adore being in on a secret, so your identity is safe with me!

Now, do catch me at the hotel bar in the Big Easy and tell me who that person is…

Have you heard any rumors that someone convinced ALA not to publish the voting totals, but only the winners' names? I ask because a much-loathed person from the library where I work was running (for the second time) for ALA Council and many of us were holding our breaths for the voting results. I'd rather you didn't post this email with my name on it (posting it with Name Witheld By Request would be OK), but I'd appreciate a reply if you have any information on my question.
