I love this part: "Connie had the annoying quality of being right. I knew I had done a half-assed review, but I arrogantly thought that half-assed was good enough for the Internet." Very well said. Good piece.

Murphy, I first read this in the group and thought it would make a great post on the site, then I read the encouraging words. I have been a contributor here since July of 2004 and have been around the top of the contributor list for quite some time. Its not out of some type of competition, but I feel that the only way to get better is to keep writing. My quality is spotty at best, but I always aim to fill a hole in my creative itch. In my time here, I have seen this site grow by leaps and bounds. It has been quite amazing to be a first hand witness. I too can be thin skinned at times, but I love the whole editing thing here. I feel that it is helping me to attain that goal of improving my writing, and the editorial staff deserves all the credit in thw world for the time and effort they put into increasing thw quality of the site. I know I have a long way to go before I become a truly proficient write. Again, excellent post!

Great Post, Murphy. I haven't been a contributor for very long, and I haven't been able to post frequently, or participate in as much discussion as I would like to, but I've read as much as possible, and have to say that it's a great community, that consistently puts out quality material. It's something I'd always looked for, not just news, but a reaction to it with the bias and everything, Newsplus as they call it now. In fact I've start spending more time here, and barely gone back to what was once my homepage Google News, in the past month or so.
