Linda, well I do love fodder. And thanks…though now I feel like I was fishing for compliments.

Also, I should have applauded the city above for the great efforts it has made (including this new blog) in adapting and improving communication with its residents. At its core, that’s really what this site originally set out to improve… to push this communication issue to the forefront so it wasn’t just something that the commissioners noted was an issue when reelection came around.

So many blogs are about the ego of its author, and though I try to keep mine at bay for the most part, I do get a little protective at times. Thanks again for all of your help and cooperation over the months!

Your blog is an inspiration and you do a great job! It is a great place for conversation, offers a diversity of opinion in a civil atmosphere, and provides virtual community living in our harried world. The Decatur Minute seeks not to compete but to add information and/or fodder for your ongoing conversation(s).
