YOU deserved the top ten! Your posts get better by the week, congrats sleuth.

[Phsstpok]

I would like to ask permission of the folks I listed in the top 10 this week, plus our generous hosts, to repost the top 10 list, including the excerpts, on my blog, wizards.townhall.com.

Would that be OK?

[Txsleuth]

Ditto what Alas Babylon said...(he said it SO well)..nyuck.

[OldFriend]

No problem, once something is here on the net, it's free to all.

[rodguy911]

Thanks Bahbah much appreciated, I had an entire week to come up with that one.

[rodguy911]

What a phenomenal job you did Phsstpok I know this was tons of work, great job once again. And thank you very much for the # 2 slot.

[rodguy911]

Wow that would be great, I see no problem.Course I can not speak for the site.

[Bahbah]

Phsstpok, anything you do is fine by me.

[rodguy911]

fishtalk had a great week! Her stuff was nothing short of phenomenal as is her blog.

[Txsleuth]

Thank you, RG!!

Have a great day!

[maica]

That's fine with me. My mother taught me as a child not to write Anything that I did not want people to read, even if it was in a personal diary. I believed her that nothing written can be considered totally private, and go on that assumption in everything that I write.

Another one of her rules was: Never believe that you are anonymous if you are in public. Someone may know who you are, because they know your family. This was Loooong before webcams, and video surveillance everywhere!

Yikes! Now I have to watch what I post!

[samantha]

Sorry for the late response, feeling very under the weather today. Yes, you have my permission to use anything I posted. You did a fantastic job judging the thread with the top 10,and pointing out so many really great posts. It was a pleasure to read and very clear, and I could tell you were really savoring the Freeper attitude. I do not know how you do it, and you keep your great sense of humor and wit. I am still tickled by Rodguy's metrosexual Biker and Fishtalk's slams on Biden. They really kept the thread laughing and hopping. I am Looking forward to reading your Blog on Townhall.

[Phsstpok]

If anyone has any  problem with what I posted just let me know and I can edit that portion.

[Peach]

Oh, I'm sorry -- I meant to go there when I got back from my appointment and forgot. And now I'm just checking in as dinner cooks but I'll post something after dinner. This time I've made a note so I don't forget, Phsstpok.

[Phsstpok]

I just want to make sure that it's OK with you if I repost the excerpts I lifted for the top 10 list, along with the attribution. As I say, if you have any problem with it just let me know and I can pull that portion.

I'm proud of what we do on the Sunday thread and I want to get as wide an audience as possible (specifically without attracting the moonbats... if that's possible).

[malia]

Oh, my, I'm so sorry - Don't you know anything you do is A OK with me! and let me take this time to say.....

Thank you so much for the great job you are doing. You, and soooo many others, contribute to and make this such an interesting, informative, and ohana place to hang out!!!

Mahalo Nui Loa!

[Peach]

I misunderstood; I thought I was to go to your blog and post a comment. Anyway - my mistake!

Of course you have permission to post any of my comments you would wish to post on your blog. But I will say - it's going to make me type more carefully to avoid typos and grammatical errors in the future!

[Phsstpok]

I don't think I included you in the original "please respond to me" post because your name wasn't one of the ones specifically in the top 10 list. Because of my eyesight limitations I sometimes "cheat" and assume I've read something when I really haven't. That's how I pulled your post #609 as one of the best but attributed it to maica.

malia, maica, it reminds me of a Cole Port tune!

Anyway, when I reposted the top 10 to my new blog at townhall (no big deal, it's free to sign up, it's not like they invited me or anything) I pulled your post from the list attributed to maica since I now knew it wasn't hers. The post was so good, however, that I wanted to make sure that it got what I considered appropriate notice. That was a last minute decision and I included you on my posting notice so that you'd have a chance to review and object to being held up to a broader audience (talk about delusions of grandeur... this all assumes anyone sees this blog).

Anyway, that's why I included you in the post as not having responded. You have nothing to be sorry for.  I should have phrased that post more specifically.

Anyway... `A `ole pilikia and Mahalo to you, as well.

(I have to confess, I looked up an "appropriate response" to your "Mahalo Nui Loa!" ... and do I ever hope it really is appropriate... but I at least have been to Hawaii and boy am I jealous!)
