shameless?

oii...people...it doesn't take that much to move some neurons and fingers and put some of your thoughts/opinions/etc. up here, does it? ;p maybe i'm asking too much...
seems like every time i explicitly request comments, they either trickle in, or just completely avoid the post... *shrugs and muses* wonder why...
big thanks to those of you who make this blog alive, though...you know who you are. ;-)

i shamelessly ask again for comments/thoughts/brickbats/etc. i really DO want to know what you guys think. PLEASE? PRETTY PLEASE?

tsk, tsk...shameless, joel...you have to resort to THIS? tsk, tsk...
