I liked your list. I like your blog. I just wanted to post something for the sake of posting something and saying hi. Today a complete stranger posted a comment on my blog. I don't know what to think of that. I posted one on theirs. It never occured to me that a total stranger would read my blog, I always figured the new people would be friends of friends. Nice list.
