Vie's Inn of Wonders Award

Vie's Inn of Wonders Award: Gold Description: Tony Duthoo, a Belgian webmaster, co-founder and evaluator of the Belgica Excellence Index (BEI), and owner and rating program manager of UWSAG, operates Vie's Inn of Wonders Awards "to award those sites with not only outstanding looks and navigation, but more important, content that stimulates people to think about life and current situations in all its aspects..." "[T]he purpose of this program, goes into another direction than most award programs: not design, but content is on the main spot here. . . . The Internet is the perfect soil to let informative, useful, and reflective content grow and flourish. The vastness of the World Wide Web grants virtually no limits to the amount and type of content that can be added to it, and the size of the audience that it may reach. Vie's Inn of Wonders Award Program exists thus to reward those Webmasters who bring this kind of useful, interesting, touching, but mostly thought-provoking content to the world via their Web sites." Sites are evaluated on intellectual content, navigation, style, page layout and design, first impression and overall appearance, and user-friendliness.

Rating: [ Award Sites! 5.0 | Belgica Founding Member | UWSAG 6.0 | WebsAwards 5 | WSAPTRONIC 6 ]

After thoroughly reviewing your site, we, the Staff of Vie's Inn of Wonders Awards, have decided to grant you our Gold Award.

Awarded: 13 January 2013

Webmaster's Response:

Matt Wallace's The Compleat Heretic has existed since at least 27 March 1997 and has been online almost continuously as indicated in this hosting history by site upload date and URL:

27 March 1997
?? November 1997
13 January 1998
4 September 1999
http://www.uncg.edu/~jmwallac/
off-line
http://www.GeoCities.com/Athens/Parthenon/6995/
http://www.CompleatHeretic.com/

Given the break, I can't properly claim the UNCG period, but I can rightly claim the fifteen continuous years on GeoCities (
13 January 1998 - 4 September 1999) and my own domain (4 September 1999 - present) combined.

Awarded: 31 May 2012

Webmaster's Response:

I served on active duty in the Army from January 1986 to December 1989, including two years in Cold War Germany and a year and a half at Ft. Lewis, Washington. After completing my four-year enlistment, I transferred to the Army Reserve to fulfill the remainder of my eight-year mandatory service obligation. During the Persian Gulf War, as a member of the 3274th U.S. Army Hospital, Durham, North Carolina, I was activated and served for nine months at Womack Army Community Hospital, Ft. Bragg, North Carolina from August 1990 to May 1991. This service qualifies me as a war veteran, and both the United States Army and the American Legion agree.

Note well: In accepting this award, I am not claiming to be a combat veteran as I was never deployed in a war zone.

Thank you very much for applying for our award and giving us the honor of evaluating your site.

Laudation:   This site is the personal site of a former soldier, and self-described "economic and social conservative, Republican, Teamsters union member, moral traditionalist, pro-life, NRA Benefactor Life Member, Secular Humanist atheist" and the site explains/outlines his position on many of these areas and how he got there. While some may not agree with his views, he does have a right to them, freedom of speech, and the right to express them on a personal site. Through his prose, grammar, etc. this site reflects that the web master is highly educated and has arrived at his opinions through self-revelation, observing his surroundings (and mankind) and his own unique experiences. The site itself is easy to navigate, and while it is somewhat basic in design it is pleasing to the eye. The site meets all the criteria of our web program to be upgraded to a "Gold" award. Congratulations!"
