You’ve been getting withdrawal? I’ve been suffering serious Internet withdrawal symptoms… broadband problems!

Vivien – please excuse my perhaps somewhat coarse wording. I wasn’t offended by you or your post – as always it was an interesting read. I just find it a bit strange that people can be annoyed by bloggers making an effort to apologise for not being around as much as they usually are.

I do understand WHY people might say an apology post is an annoying one to read, but at the same time I personally see an apology as a humbling thing to make and for anyone to get annoyed by that is actually a bit rude.

I guess I’m an old fashioned stickler for politeness Please rest assured I wasn’t offended and I’m sorry my wording above gave that impression.

Have a great new year!

Merry xmas to you too Aaron.

Here’s hoping you have a great break, and that 2008 brings lots of amazing opportunities for you.

Take it easy buddy.

oh, I hope I didn’t offend you, Aaron, with linking to your post from my Musings post? I almost finished my article, but then I came across your post and thought to link to it.
Like I said in my post it all depends on who’s the blogger, and what is my relationship with that blogger. For example, in my case – I don’t mind apology posts from you – I know that you’re sincere, plus you always have some interesting explanations to write about. However, if I read an apology post, say from Problogger or Copyblogger, or an apology with no explanations whatsoever – then I would just shrug off.

I wrote that post mainly because I wanted to find out what people think about the off-topic posts and the apology was just one of them.

But, like you said – today there are more important things to think about – food (gosh, and later i need to think about burning those extra calories), drinks and having fun with our friends and loved ones.
So have a very Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New Year.
Look forward to reading all those new exciting plans you have for this blog next year:-)
