Giving Thanks

by Joe Katzman at November 27, 2003 10:28 PM

Since I live up in Canada, Thanksgiving comes early. The 2nd Monday in October, to be precise. Thanksgiving is not a winter holiday, and since all of us live up north we picked a time that works with our climate. I'm thankful for that.

Since I've just become aware that my American friends are celebrating Thanksgiving today, I thought I'd take a moment to give thanks here on Winds.

  1. I want to thank our readers, for their intelligence and the value they bring this blog every day. Winds of Change.NET is a much better place because of you - and we will bust our butts to make it something you can be thankful for, too.

  2. I want to thank my friends in the blogosphere, left, right and otherwise, who make the effort to put their ideas out there on a regular basis and become part of the public debate.

  3. Finally, I want to thank the soldiers of all nationalities who are out there putting it all on the line to protect us from radical Islamists and others who seek our destruction.

To all of you, the Winds of Change.NET team offers our sincere thanks.

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:

*This* puts text in bold.

_This_ puts text in italics.

bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.

To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.

Finally, note that a constant onslaught of Trackback spams from auto-generated blogspot blogs has forced Winds to ban the blogspot.com domain from use in comments or trackbacks. If you host on blogspot, consider moving; otherwise, the complaints need to be directed at Google not us.
