A round of applause, please

Many of my readers may not have noticed the bylines on some of the posts here. Some months ago, I asked for assistance and invited a few people to help me keep this blog both interesting and active. Since then, nearly two hundred posts by other people have been written.

I want to take this time to thank my co-bloggers. Lair Simon and SnoopyTheGoon both have their own blogs, and often cross-post their content there.

I have written dozens of times how much I like Lair’s blog, his humor, and his overall style, even when he goes too far sometimes. Lair adds a deeper knowledge of palestinian politics with his posts here, as well as more (and higher-level) snark.

But I have not written enough how much I appreciate Snoopy’s contributions. They are, among other things thoughtful or satirical (or both) analyses of the way Israel and Jews are viewed by the world. And there is much more on Simply Jews, Snoopy’s own group blog, where he places the posts that are too over-the-top for my tastes. (Hm. Too over-the-top for me. I sense a pattern in my co-bloggers. Well, two of them, anyway.)

Drew W. and EricJ round off the team. They post less frequently, but are much appreciated when they do. (Encourage them to post more.)

I just thought I’d point out the contributors here, and remind you that you need to read the byline in the post title before using my name in the comments. If you like what Snoopy and Lair and Eric and Drew are doing, tell them.

And definitely visit my contributors’ blogs.
