There are just a few folks who can edit to the front, delete the occasional spammer based articles and try to keep a balance. Some of us even get to automatically front page our own propaganda, and even promote our own blogs! Whoo hoo!  

A lot of fun.. and coming into the next election cycle a lot of responsibility.

There is no doubt that I have some influence in how things are presented here, but have no doubts that I know this isn't MichiganTaxes.com II.  The Prof knows it for his work, Rogue knows it and anyone else who has the ability to top load their work here.  This is still Nick's gig.  And because he has assumed a responsible role of being silent in this format while working for a high profile candidate, doesn't mean he is paying attention any less.

Consider a recent development you have seen with the Mac Center "sphere" appearing daily.  There is a commitment that is being met, that I had to consider carefully before front paging as a daily.  I cannot know for sure that it is the format the imitable Nick DeLeeuw wanted, but I recognized it is GREAT Michigan discussion material, and would complement the few other permanent writers for a more full content.

We have seen increased postings from some other bloggers, and the resulting conversations have been both vigorous, and enlightening.  Some have even inspired me to advance them forward either from an agreeable point, or even one where I thought it would spark some interest.
