Blogging with the boss
http://theafmobserver.typepad.com/abu_bratsche/2008/06/blogg...very kind words about a recent post of mine, which made my morning. But, more important (and why this is a post and not a private email), I found an extremely interesting discussion. Charles had posted a frank retrospective
