Hey guys, I think we all just need to calm down. No one is getting booted off. I'm pretty sure everyone who had a major issue w people not posting regularly has left the building. It's back to being just us who are here for fun, and no drama. I know I'm here cause writing is fun, and talking about science is fun, and combining the two while also reaching others who may think this stuff is cool, and may learn something new that will spark their interest - is freaking awesome. I'm guessing that's why you're here too.

I like the guest post idea, but personally, I don't think there is anything wrong w the way it is now, dropping out of the active list after 2 weeks, seems fine to me. Being on the main list on the blog page indefinitely and unbound to posting time, is fine with me too.

I think we all would like to see our readership increase, and we all bring in different readers, so the way I see it, there is no reason to cut people out because life got in the way. We all have other obligations, no one should be penalized for that.

Ok! On with the fun stuff! :)
