[Here's excerpts of a letter I received from Suite101.com on 07/29/98.
Apparently, their first note never arrived to my PC.]
Hi, ( Space 1999 )
A few weeks ago the Suite101.com team sent you a thank you and your web
site for having played a big part in helping Suite101.com members find
the best of the Web quickly. To show our appreciation, we sent you our
newly revamped Suite101.com Top Site award. We recently visited your
site and noticed that you have not posted the link and Suite101.com Top
Site award. Because of this I fear that the e-mail never reached you
(one has to wonder what happens to all that e-mail *floating around*
cyberspace).
Please find attached a copy of the thank you letter and the Top Site
award and linking instructions.
Again, congratulations on being named one of Suite101.com's Top Sites!
Cheers!

We just want to say thanks. Over the last year your site (your efforts) has
played a big part in helping Suite101.com members find the best of the Web
quickly. The Internet community has acknowledged Suite101.com on several
occasions as one of the best sites on the Net. Most recently, Suite101.com
signed a distribution agreement with Microsoft Canada Co.
(http://www.suite101.com/doc.cfm/presskit/PR98-05-26) to provide content to
their MSN Canada Start Page. As a result of this distribution agreement,
The Microsoft Network's 2 million plus global members, as well as visitors
to http://www.ca.msn.com, will now have integrated access to Suite101.com's
hundreds of contributing editors -- web guides with a passion, topics and
links. Your link included!
Our content distribution agreement with Microsoft Canada Co. is the result of
the combined efforts of a great number of individuals and organizations. While
Suite101.com provides the infrastructure and our editors are responsible for
the weekly columns, it is your site, and sites like yours that helped us gain
the recognition that we wish to share today. Your site, which has been chosen
by F. Colin Kingston, contributing editor for Television, as one of the "Best
of the Internet," deserves particular recognition. In acknowledgement, we're
sending you our newly revamped Recommended Site Award. We would be pleased
and honored if you displayed this award on your site.
Congratulations to you and your site. We know the effort, time and dedication
it takes to be the "Best."

Cheers!
