At first it was great to reconnect with some old friends, but after a month the novelty wore off. Now I get a message and don't even bother to check it. I know it will be another mass sent picture of a hairless cat or something. MySpace I still like - mostly for the music.</p><p>And by the way thanks for a few other recent posts I've enjoyed: Stuff Christians Like, RSS explained and the hedge of protection bit. And I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who's wardrobe is overseen by his wife.</p><p>Keep writing. I'll keep reading.</p>ChipWed, 07 May 2008 00:21:51 -0000http://www.bencotten.net/random/random-thoughts/random-thoughts/#comment-3618214<p>No! By "heat" I meant attention. Commenting had been a little dry lately. I guess I didn't do too great a job writing this post! It must be the day off making me write lazily.</p><p>No, I really enjoy your contributions. I ESPECIALLY like it when you disagree. For me, it's the whole point of having an open format like a blog. When the comments get going and people are being honest it creates an "iron sharpening iron" moment that is exciting.</p><p>The last thing I want is for you to hold back. Often, you give other people "permission" to be honest as well.</p>Ben CottenTue, 06 May 2008 08:20:41 -0000http://www.bencotten.net/random/random-thoughts/random-thoughts/#comment-3618213<p>Ben,</p><p>I regret if my perspective seemed like heat to you. I didn't intend that. Such is the freedom and discomfort of an open forum, I guess. I experienced likewise, blogging and sitting in living rooms. The reason I keep reading you is because of my respect for you. Well, and the humor at times is very good as well.</p>dedTue, 06 May 2008 05:37:11 -0000http://www.bencotten.net/random/random-thoughts/random-thoughts/#comment-3618212<p>I'm not. That was a poor attempt at sarcasm... I picked on Josh Groban in a humorous way one time and got the angriest email I've ever received from this blog. I learned then that Josh Groban is apparently off limits!</p>Ben CottenMon, 05 May 2008 18:13:00 -0000http://www.bencotten.net/random/random-thoughts/random-thoughts/#comment-3618211<p>Why are you mad at Josh Groban?</p><p>I'm genuinely interested.</p>LaurMon, 05 May 2008 17:02:13 -0000
