Do the Nebulas shortchange original anthologies?

Dave Truesdale has written an interesting column on the F&SF site discussing various original sf/f anthologies from 2007 analyzing the contents and opining that most Nebula nominators don't seem to read anthologies. This latter contention seems accurate to me.

As to his opinion on some of the anthos, I can't judge the sf ones as I haven't read them.

Interesting opinions on the others, even if I don't/can't agree with him that The Coyote Road is all over the place (as a negative)--to me and Terri that was of course the point: To demonstrate that the trickster tale takes many forms and occurs in many cultures--and yes, we do indeed feel that we fulfilled our intentions.

Camden Lock fire

Just got home from the theater and the streets all around Camden have been closed off because of a fire at Camden Lock. I was told I couldn't get through to the High street because the whole neighborhood was closed off for fear of some fuel in the Lock blowing up the whole place. After asking several police officers if I could please get to where I was staying, I found out that the back way to the Clutes via Inverness Street was open. Thank god it was. One cop initially said you'll have to get a hotel room we have no idea when the streets will open. Ha! Anyway...although the police tape was between the last restaurant on the block, blocking off the Clutes' flat, I called over a couple of police and asked if I could get to the door just beyond the tape. Luckily they said sure but don't come out again...

Judith welcomed me home (John's asleep)and said the firetrucks have been around since 7pm (It's almost 11pm now).
Relieved to be home with helicopters flying over.
