(8:53 AM) | Adam Kotsko:
Retirement
Adam Robinson has retired from The Weblog. You can read his hard-hitting posts at The Pickle.I hope the remaining seven contributors will be able to generate adequate content to keep The Weblog moving.
UPDATE: On further reflection, it seems that our commenters Patrick and Angela have generated more content for The Weblog than any official contributors outside me and Anthony -- and it's a close call whether they've been beating Anthony lately, too. That's the great thing about comment sections -- lots of stuff for people to read, and you don't need to pay the commenters. Plus, since I don't go through and delete comments I don't like (other than one isolated incident where the person was accusing me of being a pedophile -- a definite social faux pas), and often don't even participate in comment threads, particularly those stemming from Anthony's posts, it's almost like I don't have to take responsibility for what commenters say.
Anyway, maintaining a staff of eight (now seven) is almost beyond my financial means, but I'm getting through -- eating more bowls of Ramen than I'd like to admit, however.
