I noticed you were gone from the followers list but since you were still commenting, I thought you had chosen to become a hidden follower.  I doubt that I'm inadvertently blocking followers because I've had two new ones since your avatar dropped off.  Anyway, it's great to hear from you and to have your encouragement.  A book?  Maybe, but you could write one just as entertaining and far more useful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Smiles,&lt;br /&gt;RB</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6655370700688657486/5781621107501036416/comments/default/3910981045991468082'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6655370700688657486/5781621107501036416/comments/default/3910981045991468082'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.robertbrault.com/2009/04/thoughts-on-politics.html?showComment=1240398120000#c3910981045991468082' title=''/><author><name>Robert Brault</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10075269686047305038</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='17668997886299376904'/><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NgWNz7_4mW4/Sd-ihf8b62I/AAAAAAAAABs/34WU0joo5IM/S220/BobJuly122008.jpg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.robertbrault.com/2009/04/thoughts-on-politics.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6655370700688657486.post-5781621107501036416' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6655370700688657486/posts/default/5781621107501036416' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-59690793'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6655370700688657486.post-7891046569646249987</id><published>2009-04-21T18:46:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-21T18:46:00.000-07:00</updated><title type='text'>It's funny Robert, but as I read your quotes, I si...</title><content type='html'>It's funny Robert, but as I read your quotes, I sit here saying to myself, "So true!"  And then I read the next one and say, "That is so true!" This section on politics nailed it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Something happened with my ability to "follow" other bloggers.  I used to be on here as a follower, but when I came on one day, I saw I was no longer on.  I tried re-following, but I kept getting an error message that said "Blogger has blocked you from following."  This happened to me on all sites that I follow. I notified Blogger but so far have not heard a response. So...you have one more follower than your "Followers" show.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And when is the book of quotes coming out?
