I think some of you guys are vastly overestimating the blog thing. While 'cardo is regarded as a thoughtful writer, people tend to gravitate to things that are positive and make them feel better; reading the ramblings of a depressed individual does not accomplish this, unless it does so by the unintended consequence of making people happy they're not him.

This doesn't even take into account that many of Anacardo's posts are tough to slog through because the words aren't exactly ones we trot out on a daily basis.

All that said, if nothing else this thread brought offTopic and CMI out of semi-retirement, two guys I thought about nominating currently in the "best writer" thread because their stuff is awesome.
