I've seen that quote attributed to Harry S. Truman. I love the sentiment, and wish I saw it in actual practice a lot more often. http://www.quotedb.com/quotes/2316 http://www.quotationspage.com/quote/367.html “It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.”

I thought it would be a nice comentary on the absurdity of what Ardell and I were doing, and a nice pistache on his lists-of-10 posts. In fact, he delivered a hugely link-filled post later in the night, most of which still sits on my nightstand, undigested.

We had already changed the rules to one and one by then...but I felt awful picturing you writing thirty entries just in case I needed a reprieve...and yes I DID need a reprieve at #42 or so and cranked out crap to 50 before resting. I am very happy to see that you were able to utilize these wonderful ideas, though #9 confused me as the second sentence appears to be still talking about me, and I was confused in a negative way when I first read it in my brain fried state. Seems a reference to Real Estate Cafe in the 2nd sentence might be in order. I felt very badly when I got past 101 or so and saw an email that you were busily preparing to come to my aid.

Originally, I wanted to team with Ardell, but she was all about doing this thing solo. If it wasn't for the fact that I had a ton of stuff to do at work yesterday, I would have loved to have taken part. With that said, I'm very impressed with what you and Ardell came up with! You're 102 posts are all better than any short snippet of information I was going to provide! :) Greg,
