Don't worry. They keep your readers sharp.

Michael, blogs are not newspapers! Typos are inevitable. Ignore the mote-in-the-eyes-of-others naysayers. Keep up your good work. The real apology should come from your colleagues (confreres?) who hide behind anonymity to attack the messenger while ignoring the message. May God grace you to continue in endurance.

Thank you. The anonymous people seem to be a lively
sort in the hierarchical church. Writing this on a bus going to work. Text is small. Heavens knows what erorrs. And the bus is full too.
I often wonder do the anonymous ones use public transport or bicycle on a daily basis to work.
Miserable morning in Dublin.

I am the anonymous commenter from the previous post. I am part of the anonymous conspiracy, I will continue to monitor this blog and I will occasionally leave an anonymous comment. I, an anonymous conspirator am sorry for remaining anonymous and for any hurt I have caused by doing so. Yours sincerely, Anonymous [sic]

Hello,
Okay. There is a semi nice tone to that and I accept your apology. I'm intrigued by the use of the word 'monitor'.

Only last evening I came across wonderful lines spoken by Besarin in Berlin in April 1945. You might monitor and then correcty spelling as I may not have the Russian name correctly spelt. And that reminds me of my patriot patron/patron patriot, Georgii Zhukov. His words to Field Marshal Friedrich Paulus at the Volga help sustain me.

Oops, of course it's 'correct my ...'.

Apologies.

You may not know and wish to know; after the war Paulus lived in the GDR and advised the government on the formation of NVA.

His enemy at Stalingrad became his mentor and hero.

The things that can happen.

Hello, anonymous again, originally I had not meant anything by remaining anonymous. I was not logged into any of my google accounts and because I was in a hurry that time, I did not take the time to login. However, my google account would not have identified me either, its called 'joe.the.odious@gmail.com'. Having said that, I do try to keep information about me off the internet. I think its mad how much information about people can be gathered online.

One main reason for doing this, is that it helps to prevent systems from tailoring content to you. See this tedtalk - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8ofWFx525s .

Au revoir for now.

Thank you for your comment.

I listened to most of the youtube clip.
