Tragedy--
I’m just browsing the contests and winners at 667, and want you to know how utterly impressed I am. Thank you so much for so thoughtfully and beautifully executing what is really the best Snicket fan event I’ve ever had the privilege of witnessing...The passion for the books displayed by the community was so deep, so informed, and so creative.
-- (a close associate of Daniel Handler), June 28, 2007 _________________________________________________
I think that says it all.
Excellent work, members. The staff and I have been busy picking questions, but we want you to know that you helped make the Anniversary a huge success. It was even bigger than I had hoped for. I think we accomplished something unprecedented by a a fan site, and that's really just a reflection of the quality members we have here at 667.
But then, none of this is really surprising. I agreed to take on the "Daniel Handler challenge" not only because it was an honor, but because I knew that we have people here that are creative and dedicated enough to pull it off. A special thanks goes to Gigi, swans, Dante, Sixteen, Robert, Cybermystery, Akbar, Linda, Sora, Snicket, the contest winners, and anyone who submitted questions for Lemony Snicket.
The 21 Questions will be posted and sent tomorrow morning. Also, I've been told that the contest prizes have been sent out. I hope you receive them soon.
Thank you, Tragedy

So the prizes are provided by sent directly by Harper Collins? Wow, Tragedy -- to have developed and nurtured that direct connection with the publisher is quite an accomplishment. I'm so impressed by everything you've done here at 667, and I'm proud to be a part of it all.
To all who organized and executed Anniversary Events -- congratulations! You are truly remarkable people. My thanks to you all.

Congratulations to all of 667, it's a prize well deserved. Thanks go out to all involved in keeping not only the Anniversary at the highest standard, but also to those who help out daily on the forum. The site would never have come this far without you. Although, I think I deserve a little bit of credit for getting you in contact with that associate in the first place, Tragedy?

Thank you, Tragedy, for getting things moving on the anniversary. I think it's the best event we've ever held. I had a lot of fun, and I hope everyone else did too.

Well one 667. No-one can keep a good team down, eh? 5 years, and as strong as ever.
