O.K. I give up. What is your beef with Gutfeld? I think he is hilarious! He is not a serious contributor, but is there for laughs. I like him.

I was thinking the same thing about Alexa as there was quite a lot of movement. They might have readjusted their adjustment for “technology skew” - or what ever it was….

I think that you'd probably do well in a consulting role where you are helping companies who want to improve in the area of creating passionate users (products and websites). Your knowledge of the field is shown well by your blogging, and maybe getting out in front of people will give you more of a reason to stay passionate about this subject area (if not the blog itself).

I do hesitate to run with the other commenters that say you should monetize this, but you should make it at least a part-time passion where you are getting to stretch out on the things you write about, and then allow experiences to craft other posts.

I hate to see us lose your input but I wonder if simply publishing articles with no comments enabled and having a members-only forum wouldn't be a good compromise. There's something about the immediacy of the response form and the lack of accountability available from anonymity (oh, hypocritical me) that seems to encourage people's awfulness.

That aside, I think that a multiple-contributor blog would give you support and provide some other perspectives. You could combine this with your ideas on coaching/ghostwriting and work with 'intern' contributors to hone their skills, see their work supplying your site, and give them the tools they need to take your philosophies and understanding out on their own tangents. It might give you a regular supply of fresh, new writers and keep things going while allowing you to step back a little. (If you did go with the intern idea, drop me a line, will you? *g*)

Is there a way use some sort of third party forum moderation to cut through this problem? Then you could go on in whatever way you are comfortable, your forums could coninue to buzz and anyone that's up to no good would hit a brick wall (or get a call from their local authorities, as appropriate). It's just a thought.

ould also do your (wonderful) thing around the blogosphere for a while (just not always here). Keep the juices flowing, continue to help people, foster even greater community growth, and not be an (ugh) static single target.

Just look at the difference just 20-30 rock solid Tea Party conservatives have made in the House already. They’ve turned “1/3 of the government” on its head and started a war between the establishment party and the Tea Party.

Hello,

We have made it safely home from our long drive to pick Crystal up. She is already learning the ropes from our other 3 old Lady Siberians. Thanks for meeting us halfway so we could pick her up. We know it was a very long trip for you and your children. Crystal is adjusting well to her new home. We are so happy to have her. She is a real sweetie and a blue eyed beauty. We will be sending you some pictures of her trip home. Thanks for everything.

this is nanook's first litter. we are working on the second and loving her soo much. thanks guy's she is the best dog ever!!!

Wow Aries is an amazing dog, It is hard to believe that she is six months old. She is incredible smart, she has managed to tear up just about everything in the house but man i sure do love her. Thanks Snow demon kennels. I will send you pictures if you need them. Justin

Sarabi is doing great! She's such a trouble maker, but I still love her. I came home from a day of classes, and she had managed to tear up the kitchen floor. I was so mad, but I couldn't help but laugh. She didn't pull it up from the edges. She started from the center and worked her way out! I can't figure out how she managed it. I just can't stay mad at her. We spent yesterday rolling around in the dirt until we were both brown from head to toe. I think we may be soulmates! We both act like destructive 5 year olds. She's an amazing dog, and the only dog I've ever had where people will stop their cars while I'm walking her to ask questions and pet her. Thanks so much for her! She's my baby.

We could not have a better dog than Juneau! A couple months later we happened to come a cross another husky who we LOVE but you can definitly tell the difference between breeders. Juneau was and has been so easy to train and I know his loving demeanor comes from the fist couple of months when he was in an environment with lots of attention!Also, I haven't seen other solid white huskies that were as pretty.In this picture Juneau had been playing in red clay but when I clean him up his coat is bright white. He is a beautiful and Perfect dog for me. My next dog will come from snowdemonkennels....No DOUBT!

hopefully you guys had a good thanksgiving and merry christmas from dynasty and family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
