Those Whom I’ve Neglected

Among commentators, I apologize to Carin and agile dog for not taking enough notice of their contributions.

All of the Protein Wisdom gang have gotten short shrift from me this past half year, and I will endeavor to do better. Mike and company at Cold Fury also deserve better notice; Mike invited me to a show, but I was so distraught at not being able to manage it that I didn't recognize the kindness. All of the folks at Six Meat Buffet deserved better than they got this year.

As difficult as some of you will find it to credit, Thor deserved more direct responses than he got from me this year. I will endeavor to do better. At the same time, Meep, Kill Truck and the other women contributors deserved more commentary from me, as well. Rocketman Bob has done a bang-up job, and I can't thank him enough. Same for Enoch.

Apart from being immensely kind to me, Scott and Liz at The B-Cast are also enormously hard-working. If you haven't spent time there, please do, and patronize their contributors. Carol at Sheeples is a wonderful person and blogger. Fausta covers a lot of stuff that flies under the radar for most people. Even though they never link here, Ace and company and Ed and Allah at Hot Air do important stuff. Insty promotes the best stories, and maintains his equanimity.

Every day on the web teaches me the same lesson: if you aren't happy, you don't have anything. And there are many of you whom, by necessity, I'm leaving out. So, if I seem down and snarky and quick to anger, please let me know. Most of all, again, to all of you who read, my great thanks.

Some of us have neglected you too, Dan. Your kindness to me when Fritzie needed surgery and then when we lost him later, I never acknowledged what that meant to me in any measure it deserved.

Over 2000 followers on Twitter, over a million visitors to my blog, and you were the only one who reached out with sympathy. This is something I won’t forget. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Oh, but despite it all, you were one of the ones I neglected. Thanks even more, so.

Don’t sweat it, Dan. You can atone for ignoring me by hosting this self-pimping link to a post of mine: The Decade In Apologies. ;D

Seriously, it’s great to see a former PWer make it big in his own right. You’re decent folks, of which the blogosphere can always use more.

For breaking the low information metanarrative, don’t feel obliged, Dan, I accept your thankful renderings sans your offering of such.

I’ve a belated Xmas gift pack for ya. Where shall I send the red beret, dusty bottle of red French wine and revolutionary Che neck scarf?

Dan – the fun has just begun. And you might be the last person on earth to need to apologize to me. You introduced me to Steely Dan after all.

No apology necessary, kind sir. I will say that one of the things I’m grateful for this blessed season is the rocking new POWIP. That dragon/gargoyle in the masthead always gives me a warm feeling. Happy new year to you fine folks.
