Seriously, what happened? More than curiosity, I checked out your hosting provider when their 404 pages came up, and I liked their hosting packages but I’d like a recommendation before going with them and I’m interested in what you think and obviously if the outages were related to problems on their end.

I will say this, JT: you’re a lot smarter than Kim Priestap and that Jempty character, for what that’s worth.

I really did miss this site while it was down, I check it a few times a day. One suggestion, though, if you don’t mind: could you put the time on your posts?

Stay on, OW!

I don’t think Jay Tea quite understands.

Aw, shucks, the love is just overwhelming…

Yup, I got offered a new gig, and I took it. And so far, it’s working out quite well.

But I’ll never forget all the little people who helped me get there, and won’t forget where I came from. So that means I’ll still pop in here from time to time.

Thanks for the best wishes and congratulations.

” …it took a re-reading …”

Which is really why I don’t envy who ever at Commentary has to do this job:

4) I would have to submit my articles to an editor for review before publishing.

I think he was saying he ‘almost’ did all those things

Yeah, on re-reading it I got that (hence my “this almost self-contradictory opening”) but it took a re-reading and a “is that

Sean, I think he was saying he ‘almost’ did all those things, but didn’t quite get there. As in, almost but didn’t quite hit the 4,000 article marker.

And wizbang can be entertaining. Think powerline with some smart and some really crazy commenters. There’s one liberal Canadian guy called ‘Hyperbolist’ – some sort of philosophy professor, I think – who’s quite good.

I’ve only ever peeked at wizbangblog a few times, so can someone whose spent more time there clarify if this almost self-contradictory opening paragraphs is typical of what passes for clear writing over there?

I have been blogging here at Wizbang for almost five years.
I have written almost 4,000 articles.
I have collected almost 80,000 comments on those articles.
And it appears I will not reach any of those landmarks.

I have hit these landmarks, but I will not reach these landmarks which I have hit?

Huh?

It’s really weird over there. Kind of a Bizarro World, where nonsense makes sense and unreasonable people yell at you for being “irrational” and “stupid.”

“I had nothing to do but go over to Wizbang and piss those people off.”

As if they haven’t worked themselves into a constant state of pissant rage since before the election.
