You’re very welcome and I mean it sincerely. I had a conversation with another journalist of your stature about blogging on our network, and he said he didn’t see the appeal because he still gets paid well to write books and long-form magazine articles. And I can’t fault him, or you, for having that opportunity and feeling that way. But I’ve liked seeing great long-form journalists getting into the online scrum, and its habits, and I hope you’ll be back into it in a way that suits you soon.
