Taking inspiration from Seth Godin's post entitled Ego, I have chosen to place a handful of my readers front and center on One Man's Highway for a much deserved mention. This is not a ploy coaxing you to stand in the middle of the highway to be splattered by a semi truck. It's my way of expressing appreciation for your valued readership. While I cannot place every reader's name in this post (because I don't have info on who they all are) I can highlight the last 28 blog crawlers that have taken time to leave a comment on one of my posts. An act of kindness that will not go unnoticed.

"If I come back to your website and you know my name, why not plaster it across the page? People like to be recognized, respected and trusted." Seth Godin
The blogosphere is a world that pivots on a delicate balance, powered
by the authors but fueled by it's readers. Without readers a blog is
reduced to an online journal that eventually gets abandoned. With an
active readership blogs are a vibrant and meaningful launch pad for
information, commentary, stories and ideas. It's like punk rock for writers, everybody's in a band practicing in the garage. If that guy can do it, then so can I! The ability to post any type of
commentary instantaneously and gain feedback at almost the same speed
is truly a gift of our modern age. One that should not be taken for
granted. The blogosphere is a vital community that's quickly evolving
into an indispensable part of our culture.
I sincerely appreciate every person that has taken time to read One
Man's Highway and I hope you will find your way back here again knowing
that the ride is free. I could not have motorerd this far without your participation and weekly encouragemnet one and all. Much
appreciated.
Mr. Besilly

I am totally charmed to be included in your garage band, Mr. B.! Don't let me [try to] sing - but I can bang a wicked gong. And bring the snacks. :-) Jen

Thanks, Ray! You're the best.
The smartest people know the favorite thing to talk about is themselves ... putting us in the spotlight certainly caters to that.

Wow! Thanks for the mention :)
You're so right about the comments: I was just recently astounded by the feedback on my last post in my blog. Its the first time I'd actually asked for opinions or advice and the response has been amazing and so helpful *grin*
I heart the blogosphere too... and each day just that much more ;P
