I take your ".....really?" and raise you two "WTF?"s. If I'm not mistaken, Adorno, the "way back" was clearly ironic. Let us know when your DAILY blog has been online for six years, and I'll be the first to critique it for you. Thanks, Chuck. I take your “…..really?” and raise you two “WTF?”s.

You mean like 6 months ago? You bloggers are so funny. If you missed something, there's always a line like "oh i've had this on repeat but forgot to post it", or some other excuse, and then there's this type of thing about how you've been with it for so long. Pathetic “way back in August 2008″??
