Now, I know I am relative newcomer to your blog, and cyber life,Just thought I should say a few things. I understand that everyone is different, thats what makes the world work etc. The thing I struggle with is why people have to make their differences so  bloody awkward! 
people love your blog, and its useful to them, as proven by your comments, here. 
Shai, you have handled yourself with dignity on this and I know your blog friends are right with you. Keep up the good work :)</description>

		<description>Heather: Well, I guess I'm just like the rest of 'em --- I do bare my fangs and claws when needed. ;-) It was a cathartic exercise for me. I sort of needed to analyse the whole thing because I needed to banish those crazy voices in my head saying similar things. Heh. :-D</description>

		<description>Kari: You are just the absolute best. Thank you so much! I know that it's tough to find the right balance in these things. Goodness knows how I've been racking my brains for ideas on how to serve this blog's readers as best as I can. In the end, I know that it just has to be a balance of what I love to write about and such, and of what folks would be interested in. And, yeah, taking my immediate family's wishes in to consideration. If that makes for boring reading for some folks... well, I'm okay with that. ;-) Again, thanks for everything. I really do appreciate having you around all these years.</description>

		<description>Angela: Well, El did ask for a rant. I like to oblige. ;-) But you're right - whether you blog on a more personal level or not, it really is up to the blogger. I admire those who can be more open and personal on their blogs. I really do. And yes, I love your openness and such on your blog. And no, I know that I can never please everyone all the time. Not even some of the time. All I know is that I will continue to evolve and to improve myself as a blogger (and as a person, in general). So yeah - thanks.</description>

		<description>You know you can't please everyone with every post. Some might appeal to a certain crowd, and others to an entirely different set. And I'm just basically reiterating what you said in your post. 

Personally, I find your blog very helpful and plenty personal. I've learned a ton from you already (thanks SO much for the Twitter tips by the way) and have really enjoyed the 52WoC thus far. 

All the best,
Jami</description>
