It is so sad to see that you still have a writer-block. Otherwise, what other reason do you to go around and slaughter other people's blogs? The only other thing that comes to mind is that you really are nasty, but - that would be so off base, right?
Hey - it's like a serial thing with you! You start off by graciously crowning a new blogger as "Blog Of The Week", getting that blogger all thankful and excited, but once the formerly-rookie blogger takes off, you take the title away. If they continue to soar, especially if they are getting into some real writing, you go on a quest of slandering and bashing them.
But, I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt and simply say that you being a whacky foreigner and all, some of the subtleties of my humor are probably lost in translation, and thus much of what I leave in comments ends up sounding just mean. However, to someone with a deep understanding of the nuances of American English, in particular the Upstate New York dialect, I am actually quite hysterical. I know this because I go back to read everything I write so I can pat myself on the back for being so hillarious, and I simply cannot detect any trace of nastiness anywhere. Can you point to some specific examples so that I understand what constructions are confusing to you?

I find it interesting that you read that post as a
"complaint".
Q: How can you tell Cavitation is complaining?
A: His lips are moving.
my lips did not move once while I was typing my post ;-)
No, but they moved when you were reading it back to yourself to congratulate yourself on being so entertaining.

Hmm... Interesting pattern.
It's a distinct possibility that I'm really nasty.
What I find much more amusing is that after all this time, you still don't understand the blog medium.
