    In case anyone needs to hear me say it, props to DJP and Phil Johnson who are my betters by a long shot. A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

    And props to the channel rats at #prosapologian who knew Challies when he was dumpster-diving for web design work, and when I was just a cage-stage Calvinist bot-master (Pots not Bots!). Props especially to Rich and to Gutey and to all the old-school OPS (except Red, but especially johnMark), and to a guy without whom there would be no internet apologetics: the infamous DrO, James White. He practically invented the podcast.

      Hey Frank,

      I never took you for an ecumenist, but that’s all changed now.

      It’s funny, Bobby: I’m trying to remember worrying about that …

      Props to you to, brother. It’s been a long time in the world of Al Gore the internet. I try not to remember back to 2001 on C**M.

      Congrats, have fun, do well & repent often.

      No Frank,

      You misunderstood me, I am just surprised to see you associated with a blog that is connected to folks who are Roman Catholic. Isn’t ‘First Things’ the product of Richard John Neuhaus, a prominent convert from Lutheranism to Roman Catholicism? The banner of this blog has the current Pope flashing on it; like I said, I never took you for an ecumenist — for that matter, I wouldn’t have taken any of ‘Team-Pyro’ as ecumenical, I was mistaken.

      Does this new blog thing mean you jumped the shark?

      Fred –

      No, but as you can see by Bobby’s comment, all my internet adversaries will try to do so now that I’ve emerged (heh) from our cul de sac in the reformed blogosphere much in the same way Robin Williams emerged not only as a filthy-but-funny comedian but also as a moving dramatic actor.

      See above. And you’re no Arthur Fonzerelli.
