You have no idea how much you bloggers mean to us. You remind us there are others of like mind (and liberal bent). You educate us, entertain us, and say what we think -- although you phrase it better.<BR/><BR/>Thank you, thank you.<BR/><BR/>BTW, at this instant, I am drinking coffee from my "keep your panties on" mug, a gift from George. We heart you, Blue Gal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-1152679863731089202006-07-11T23:51:00.000-05:002006-07-11T23:51:00.000-05:00BG, Robert said it better than I ever could. I...BG,<BR/> Robert said it better than I ever could. I'm only about 4 mos old in the realm of blogs. I was out off work with a blown disk, clicked on a link I received and like the Big Bang, a whole new universe was opened up for me. The grass got really green over the septic tank.<BR/> I can't remember the last time I hit Kos, Crooks and Liars, or Firedoglake. You, Firestarter, JP, I hit every day without fail. I write the rare comment; I also write the occasional letter to the Seatle PI, but to do my own blog? Quite honestly, I read you three and some of the other "little" blogs, and I feel... I just don't have the... Sticktoitiveness, or something, to do the job you do. However...<BR/><BR/>When every now and then I feel that urge, that bolt from the blue, that boot in my ass to respond, I hope that, provided I'm coherent, I will be welcomed. In my short time lurking, I've gotten the picture that this is not always the case. Especially on the "big" blogs.<BR/><BR/>You (and many others) do the heavy lifting, and we lurkers truly do appreciate you all.Chris in Seattlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16222544865765583990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-1152674566196596662006-07-11T22:22:00.000-05:002006-07-11T22:22:00.000-05:00i like 'gleaners' and commenters of different lean...i like 'gleaners' and commenters of different leanings at my blog because i like the diversity. not to mention that it makes posting more interesting to have contrasting points of view- preaching to a harmonious choir- if you will. dissonant and consonant to go along with the musical theme :)billiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16206096509976316141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-1152657732070099162006-07-11T17:42:00.000-05:002006-07-11T17:42:00.000-05:00The purpose of this post was not to de-lurk anybod...The purpose of this post was not to de-lurk anybody, obviously!

Just because we "lurkers" (really bad, negative choice of nickname in my opinion) don't comment dosen't mean that we don't appreciate your efforts.

I, too, am always happy for commenters, if only that they are confirmation that, yes, we're not out there all alone, that someone is indeed listening. While blogging is different than any writing before in that the audience can participate in almost real time, the idea is still to write to an audience, or why bother putting it on the Internet? So, read away, friends - and stop in to say hi if you like!<BR/><BR/>I love being able to send a message to people I enjoy reading, if only an acknowledgement of my interest and appreciation. Half the time, I may even get a response!Alicia Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14458700009032102949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983386.post-1152641804416856262006-07-11T13:16:00.000-05:002006-07-11T13:16:00.000-05:00Cool site.Cool site.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
