You've got good things to say.

Your body of work is truly impressive. Since I don’t have a background in either philosophy or logic, and have come only recently to atheism, I enjoy hanging out here to learn about it all. Some of your posts are easier for me to get my head around than others, of course, but all are edifying. <BR/><BR/>One of the most important reasons I come here is to learn how an intelligent person responds to those irrational types we all come in contact with from time to time. Your debating prowess is inspiring. Thanks so much for sharing with us and happy birthday. <BR/><BR/>Happy Birthday Alonzo<BR/><BR/>On your day,<BR/>We send you wishes<BR/>For delicious things<BR/>That come in dishes,<BR/><BR/>Like birthday cake,<BR/>And ice cream treats<BR/>That make you happy<BR/>Down to your feets.<BR/><BR/>On top of that,<BR/>We hope your day<BR/>Is filled with hugs<BR/>And fun and play.<BR/><BR/>Our wish for you,<BR/>Is quite sincere,<BR/>So Happy birthday, <BR/>Alonzo dear!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06052658110863916152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16594468.post-48847005946607737442008-07-16T00:37:00.000-06:002008-07-16T00:37:00.000-06:00Hey alonzo, I would be glad to enable you to do al...Hey alonzo, I would be glad to enable you to do all that.

Yo...Heh, I'm still here Alonzo, subscribed as ever. You're, fortunately, one of the few voices in the Atheosphere who does not rehash the same ol' news I've read from 10 others blogs as well. Sometimes I can just skim the headers of random atheist blogs and find out what the news of the day or week are. Once you've read about a subject two of three times, any more commentary on it just repeats itself.<BR/><BR/>I honestly can't believe how fast you're posting but I do consider it a waste that you're doing it on blogspot with very little SEO which means that you end up missing a lot of potential visitors and views. Depending on how many you get, you could even monetize it. <A HREF="http://popuri.us/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fatheistethicist.blogspot.com%2F" REL="nofollow">Since your google pagerank is high</A>, you can certainly start earning towards that 1.7 million!.<BR/><BR/>By now you should have had you own site and domain and self-hosted wordpress blog. In all honesty, it's not difficult.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, just keep doing what you do and know that the people who DO read you, at least get something unique. <BR/><BR/>Happy B-Day!<BR/><BR/>PS: You may not be able to improve your editing but you can try to <A HREF="http://dbzer0.com/blog/idc-blogger" REL="nofollow">improve your comment system</A> for more intense discussions ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
