But for some reason, I don't think this announcement was a joke. Flexo, please confirm because I'm so excited for you!!This blog is a success regardless of how it compares to the readership at GRS or TSD. Flexo has been around long enough to know what it takes. In his case, the only missing ingredient may be extra time. By the way, I did read all the way to the end. But for some reason, I don’t think this announcement was a joke.
