I actua...Lol. I'm definitely not that guy. ;-)<br /><br />I actually hadn't even dropped by the Troop's place to read much - until lately, let alone comment. That might change now, but I'd really like to do the best job I can from now on of keeping everything smooth and friendly; it's good to see all the comment hits he's been getting, but not at a suddenly apparent price that might have come from a more contentious element of the Althouse contingent that he seems to have attracted lately. You've probably got the right idea given your company of some non-Althousians and brighter Althousians/co-bloggers with whom you maintained a tighter bond - it's pretty hard to get much of a "non-native" following on Blogger. <br /><br />I don't see how it will be possible to be only in touch with one of you. Given your love of chemistry and Troop's love of frenetically composed fiction I might have to be the go-between. My equal parts verbal diarrhea and geekiness have to come in handy somehow, I suppose. <br /><br />Cheers -Ritmo Re-Animatedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15912086218531198114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130126685334700207.post-86226369756349605612011-09-13T20:47:15.645-07:002011-09-13T20:47:15.645-07:00P.S.

Just don't tell me that you're that "NotquiteunBuckley" character over on Althouse because that would be sad and entirely too predictable. :)chickelithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10773887469972534979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130126685334700207.post-6917631669383199832011-09-13T20:45:01.855-07:002011-09-13T20:45:01.855-07:00Hey Ritmo, glad to see you back!
Thanks for the ...Hey Ritmo, glad to see you back!<br /><br />Thanks for the kind words. So you lurk at Trooper's, huh? He never comes by here anymore.<br /><br />I already went by your blog earlier and left a few droppings. We'll catch up somehow.chickelithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10773887469972534979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130126685334700207.post-20920580388453803292011-09-13T16:26:12.203-07:002011-09-13T16:26:12.203-07:00Thanks for your much more than ever-so-slightly qu...Thanks for your much more than ever-so-slightly qualified kind words in other corners of the Blogger-sphere. Trooper's right, I've been alive, if laying low, (mostly for technical reasons), and the time away has been good. Very good, in fact. Conveying a tone and material that is appreciated equally well by everybody is damn near impossible on the internets, so I definitely enjoyed the long, long break from obsessively trying to say all that which I can't be sure is being rightly heard. It was good and relaxing and quite peaceful and I am so reluctant to step back into the fray for that reason alone. But I felt remiss in not reaching out to you after seeing some comments back and forth at Trooper's place. <br /><br />Can't promise I'll be back regularly but I'll do what I'll can, and try to keep a light on for you and whomever else wants to drop by at my cyber-porch.<br /><br />All the best and Cheers -Ritmo Re-Animatedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15912086218531198114noreply@blogger.com
