Congratulations.
Now for coffee and the start of the working day.
Just one question. We are talking about the United States, a first world country, correct? Is this seriously supposed to sway opinions? And more important, how many of them?
I'd like to propose an alternative:
In my various feeds I prefer a feed with posts and comments combined. That is, whenever a comment is added, the feed will show that post as updated and show the comment. I know that this is probably a lot with your active comment threads, but I don't like to subscribe to single posts. Clutters up my overloaded NetNewsWire...
Would that be possible as an option? (I'll gladly help with the templates)
Did you all see this:
"Lots more. Do your own bloody research.
I'm completely out of patience with the ignorance displayed by the lefty blogosphere on this issue over the last couple of days."

And that's Patrick on a *good* day, when Teresa made him take his meds. He's from Brooklyn, where not only are the weak killed and eaten, but the merely somewhat strong, as well. They work in the Flatiron building (image), the only building in NYC designed specifically to destroy other buildings by ramming).
During the 2004 black-out, after hijacking a bus from the Flatiron Building back to Brooklyn, they threw a barbeque - with the passengers as main course. They then led a mob of Brooklynites ('mob' is the basic plural term for Brooklynites, like herd, flock or school) and destroyed all bridges across the East River, to prevent starving Manhattanites from getting to Brooklyn. Not because they needed to defend Brooklyn, but because Manhattanites are just too stringy and lean for Brooklyn tastes.
Patrick and Teresa work for Tor books (as in 'we tore that lousy writer a new ______'). SM Stirling was inspired to write the Draka series after seeing them 'edit' a troublesome new writer - Patrick held the writer out the windwo by his shoes, while Teresa pointed out each and every flaw in the guy's work. It's not *their* fault that the writer was wearing slip-ons. However, Patrick did immediately call the police, and fess up to littering.
Teresa likes to knit, sitting outdoors in a park. She says that outdoor knitting runs in the family, ever since the late 1780's, back in France.
I could go on, but they've probably traced my internet connection by now.
Ciao,

I think it's complimentary, but it may have been intended otherwise.
