There are several updates near written... And I'm going to skip the predictable “I've been very busy...” update by mentioning it now. Very good, and very, very soon.

And I’m going to skip the predictable “I’ve been very busy…” update by mentioning it now.

That's a great idea! You could house it in a web log and call it something catchy, like, blogging. Hehe. That’s a great idea!

How can I possibly reply sincerely or objectively when I have publicly declared my interest in winning said competition? ;-) Understanding my faults? How about writing them for all the world to see... Thanks for the comments guys.

Understanding my faults? How about writing them for all the world to see…

And now for my super lame riding the fence answer: Yes and no. I don't know really. I suppose it only resonates if we are willing to take the time to understand our own faults, such that we decide to be better than we are now. Community is a fascinating construct. Love it, hate it, be it. John,

I don’t know really. I suppose it only resonates if we are willing to take the time to understand our own faults, such that we decide to be better than we are now.

Community is a fascinating construct. Love it, hate it, be it.

Besides, to use another pearl of Marx's wisdom: "Whatever it is, I'm against it!" (Then again, that might have been one of his songwriters.)
