		<description>@owbert: How do you say? Curious to hear what your hesitation about the community is. I&#039;d really recommend poking around (in fact I challenge you!) to the different blogs - they are all so amazingly good at what they do and presenting it online. It used to be a &quot;community&quot; in that there were forums (what&#039;s on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.chawlk.com/notes&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Chalk&lt;/a&gt; now) but now they&#039;ve gone back to their roots in only promoting member content. :)

@Nils: Thanks, Nils!! Indeedy - 9rules is definitely a special place. It&#039;s amazing how we can have civil, intelligent conversation on typically hot button topics. And it&#039;s all about putting out quality product over attention mongering. All concepts are fair game and everyone respects each other&#039;s opinion without getting personal or butt-hurt about things. Hee hee. :)</description>

		<description>Just wanted to add how I love your description of the place and the people there. My sentiments exactly and precisely the reason why I love hanging out there so much. I&#039;ve always felt 9r was a special place; it shows.</description>

		<description>@Peckas: Haha yeah, I have a lot of Obama links saved (I&#039;m a &lt;strike&gt;fan&lt;/strike&gt; supporter too) ;) on my del.icio.us and that&#039;s fed in in my footer, which would explain all the Obama ads that come up in my adsense. Good and bad.

My good friend Tim has a Rock Band band named Obama-nation. He was saying, it&#039;s weird that that word play is not used more.

@Mike: Oh wow! Aww... :) BIG HUG</description>

		<description>I thought that was the case. I&#039;m just an Obama fan and the add listed is talking about what an &quot;obamanation&quot; he is...  Just realized his name spells the first part that word. He&#039;s just part of an Obama-Nation!! Not an &quot;obamanation&quot;. Hahaaa

Think I can get a job as a speech writer???

Cheers!</description>

		<description>Wow, thanks each and every one of you - for all the congratulations and welcomes!! :) Oh, and the multitude of compliments; I&#039;m humbled. I definitely feel right at home. I mean, this blog feels right at home. Inside 9r. Uhh...you know what I mean!!

@Tyme - I could swear it was almost 4 weeks ago when you invited me. Believe me, I was dying too. ;)

@Mike: Took who long enough? For the relaunch? Yes I believe you need sleeeep nowww...

@Peckas: Thanks, I&#039;m honored that you said that. And no, I don&#039;t have control over what appears in my Google adsense panel. Google sees what&#039;s on my page and automatically sends relevant text ads to my page from a plethora of ads purchased by advertisers with Google. I hope that made sense. :)</description>

		<description>Congratulations! You have great writing skills! I particularly like the BLOG on &quot;Taking Ownership&quot;. 

Just curious do you have control over the &quot;Adds by Google&quot; listed on your site?
