Good corner to be in, guys!  Thanks.

I really hate pointless "blogs" like this. Nothing to say, just a link, and a short comment. If you don't have an idea of your own, please don't bother to do this, it is not a blog, it is a keyboard fart.

Sorry, CVille. Wanted to give TPM a "way-to-go" but was not able to comment on Josh's "Bummed" post. Maybe we should have comment-ability on TPM posts, because I often seen separate, inconvenient discussion threads over here. Or, maybe I should've titled this "The Official Comment on Josh's 'Bummed' Post."

I could've blathered, but it would've been pointless and repetitive of Josh's. Sometimes, one sentence is all it takes.

BTW, if you look at my record, it is rare for me to throw up a shorty like this. If I was always throwing out these random one-liners, you might have a gripe. But, I don't.

Sorry for being cranky, but I just think this type of post is a waste of time. I don't keep score about who does it and who doesn't, but I didn't mean it to be personal.

I think it would be useful if you want to commend Josh's "bummed" post to go ahead and say so and why -- that isn't blathering; it is the reason you saw fit to post a blog.

Anyway, like I said, I was being cranky. I could have just said nothing, which is what I usually do with these "link only" posts.

You can just email them a comment. Josh reads everything.

CVille, thanks for coming back and apologizing. I was a bit touchy, too. (I DID commend them, tho - in very short fashion.)

Thanks, Billy - I do e-mail them, too (sent one today, in fact - tho I've never received a response, so I am not quite as sure as you about Josh reading everything). But, I decided to make it a public attaboy.
