The most frustrating thing about blogging is writing something, getting little attention, and then reading something very similar a month later that gets wide notice. It's not that anyone is "stealing" ideas from anyone else, it's that it's getting harder to break into the top tier of internet writers. Or maybe I'm just not that great.

The comment login system is acting strange. If you get an error message saying you aren't logged in when you are, just reload the comment page and try again. I'm trying to track this bug down, but it's not easy.
Oh, I'm with you on that one. I posted the "Retrosexual" thing a month beofre one of the other blogs. When he posted it, the article was picked up by one of the big dogs and you'd have thought he'd just re-written Genesis.
I guess that's the trials of being a lower-tier blogger...
But in your case, maybe your writings got somebody else's thought processes going... If so, they should've at least acknowledged that your article planted the seed...
mc: Nah, I highly doubt that David Berstein needed me to point him to that story or to help him interpret it. But someone reading my post thinks "who cares what Michael thinks?", whereas when some reads DB they figure he knows what he's talking about. Or something.
Don't get discouraged. I have no idea how many people I may be speaking for, but this is my personal favourite blog - it's consistently thoughtful and often funny, politically aware without being consumed by politics, as well as openly and thoroughly Christian. Keep up the good work!
I'm with Ken, I love this blog. In fact if I had to give the name of one blogger who inspired me the most to keep a blog myself, it would have to be Michael. So I guess he's my *sniff* blogfather!
