(Do you frequent it, too?) And then there are those other two places that I'm trying to pay more attention to.<BR/><BR/>I just opened up your profile and noticed that you have something new, too, "Bloggers for Dennis."<BR/><BR/>Anyone reading this comment should check it out. One must walk a very fine line in order to both praise & parody someone, and still be sincere. "Bloggers for Dennis" might be a rare example.Karen Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13177791730943410658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3295689543166080175.post-81432099878434385282007-06-22T09:08:00.000-07:002007-06-22T09:08:00.000-07:00I just came across this - it's hard to keep up wit...I just came across this - it's hard to keep up with Karen. Thank you for including me in such good company.

Much missed. Did she ever initiate the email updates that she promised as a post-blog way of keeping us all up to speed with her life & times? <BR/><BR/>And of other Salon & ex-Salon bloggers, Mark's still going strong. I always recognised & appreciated his extraordinary talent for parody, but, as with many of your references & Rayne's, I know nothing of the dramatis personae nor the various scenarios in which they feature. <BR/><BR/>Birdy flourishes yet, as indefatigable & unstoppable as ever &, as with your account of Mark, I concur entirely.<BR/><BR/>And you're hanging in there too with this very promising-looking blog, which - as so many ex-Salonistas quit the blogosphere - is both comfort & encouragement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3295689543166080175.post-3201496790173722892007-06-18T13:24:00.000-07:002007-06-18T13:24:00.000-07:00Thanks, Certified'!I didn't say it was easy for me...Thanks, Certified'!<BR/><BR/>I didn't say it was easy for me, either. ;~) Only that these four were extra-special. <BR/><BR/>[That Salon software-- Userland-- is/was a bear!]Karen Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13177791730943410658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3295689543166080175.post-51939651264412902612007-06-18T13:10:00.000-07:002007-06-18T13:10:00.000-07:00I am not familiar with any of those blogs - but I ...I am not familiar with any of those blogs - but I am familiar with that learning curve/ educational progress through the edges of our new jungle; that there are paths, and ways of going.<BR/><BR/>Karen M - you have a gift for seeing and valuing! [Most of my early time with blogs was an exercise in impotent and jealous seething at what others were accomplishing - had to learn to love and then create for myself and then share, but it was difficult for me]JShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02774251718988253789noreply@blogger.com
