Yeesh, just 3 responses to the latest survey question.<BR>
<BR>
Maybe it's time to give it a rest, at least for a while.<BR>
<BR>
For whatever reasons, the Blender has lost a bit of the vitality it had a few years ago I think.  I haven't been keeping enough track of the traffic numbers to know if that has declined as well.  I mostly mourn some of the old regulars who no longer show up...I don't mourn having to read 500+ poems every month, and I truly think the front page picks are about as good as they ever were...<BR>
<BR>
I dunno. Sometimes I think I should go back and try to plug the Blender a bit, but I dunno.  Maybe be a client rather than just a display site for Google Ads....

Heh....I caught the counter at 1,999,947-- it's pretty good at not letting people reload and move it up.<BR>

Anyway, the new Blender of Love digest is up...

Aparajita- I loved your "Regardless." I can't begin to say how fitting it is for my current situation. Thank you for putting into words how I've been feeling.<BR>
