Today I made it as a blogger. Today I joined the upper echelons of the blogosphere. Today I received my first e-mail (complete with poor grammar) asking me to remove comments about an individual from my blog

Nataurally, I complied with this request because I wouldn’t want to cause any upset. It’s a shame really, because removing the person’s name means I have to remove a rather nice digression about some cool TV shows. I’ll have to have a long and careful think about making a nice, fluffy post about the same person in order to reintroduce that digression.
