Don’t worry Jeff, I’m well used to it. This is what happens when you have a surname for a first name and a first name for a surname!

Subrosa, that’s fair enough. I can understand why you thought that, although I did say that not all of the blogs I mentioned could legitimately be put in that bracket.

I realise that Stephen. But to see my name included in the heading ‘scandal’ was a bit upsetting. Forgive me if you think I over-reacted. It’s been a strange week.

I didn’t want to do a post about it myself because I consider the beings involved have had enough of my time.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Subrosa, thanks for the clarifications. Apologies if I distressed you. It was not my intention. I have now amended the post to bring attention to your comment.

Nice one Duncan, agree with most of your post and perhaps even all of it. Blogging about blogging does have an unseemly self-indulgence to it but it’s still interesting and it’s not like there’s too much other news out there.

I really just wanted to commend you on your bravery in calling Cybernats ‘too excited for their own good’ and (the wonderfully diplomatic) ‘boisterous’.

You’re right, as usual, but I just wonder if there be a storm a brewin’ once those excitable Nats get here!
