Spoken like a true developer... ;)

**p.s**

The new dotnetJunkis site looks great! I have to wonder if I'd want to join it though. I think I should concentrate only on one blog per human brain. othertise the outcome might not be satisfactory....

**p.s 2**

Is there an HTML editing control that performs Spell checking? writing in WORD and pating into the browser seems a bit cumbersome to me when dealing with short posts (that means this post was not spell checked, so be gentle :)

**p.s 3**

Have you noticed? Now that Sam Gentile has his weblog [elsewhere](http://samgentile.com/blog/default.aspx), I am currently the most active blogger on the list in the main .NetWeblogs [Page](http://weblogs.asp.net/). **Problem**: I have no idea if that's a good thing or a bad thing ;)
