It takes a village

My Iraqi-bound brother has a blog of his own set up at http://quodesertdude.blog.com/ for family and friends to receive periodic updates on how he is doing. His last post spoke about how his wife is now expecting a baby after a successful in vitro procedure. Of course everyone who knows Greg and Chris know that this has been a hard road for them with many unsuccessful attempts to have a child, thus the happiness at finally reaching this milestone.

Everyone except this unknown visitor to my brother's blog... and I quote:

Wot a bloody boring blog this is. My computer went to sleep just displaying it. Please stop writing it now. (Comment this)

One popular feature of cyberspace is the clandestine nature of posting, that allows individuals to debate topics or post opinions in relative obscurity. A good example would be the witty retort that our good friend "Scally" had bestowed upon our humble presence.

I would have suggested addressing this on my brother's blog, but it's purpose is to inform, not to entertain. My blog, on the other hand, is for entertaining a captive audience, in particular one bored soldier soon to be baking his brains in a tent somewhere in the Arabian peninsula. So on behalf of that soldier and his kin, let me say with all pleasure and endearment:


Dear Scally,
Thank you for taking the time to critique this blog. I am sorry that you and your sleep- deprived computer found it not to your liking, but cyberspace is an immensely large environment that is sure to have some areas that are more to your exacting tastes. Since I am busy with other things I will leave you with only one example, but hope that you find it more suited to your predilection.
