Over the past three months, I’ve received a number of emails from Venomites about my decision to add “The Envenomed,” co-bloggers whose views don’t necessarily coincide with my own but whose talent I admire. Many of you wrote to express disappointment that the blog no longer had a “cohesive voice,” while others expressed frustration that EV wasn’t offering fresh content as often as it had prior to the addition of co-bloggers.

Frankly, I take the blame for that — I’d figured that there was safety in numbers, meaning that with more bloggers posting here I could post less. I was wrong. My co-bloggers are busy people with busy lives, and as we all know, when time is short it’s more fun to post at one’s own blog than at someone else’s. Hence, EV really has been updated less frequently, much to your dismay as well as my own.

So I’m back at the helm of this blog now, although Anwyn (who has almost single-handedly kept the blog fresh for the past three weeks) is still here with me. In the meantime, I’d like to thank De Doc, Jeff, Jim, Boy Toy and Mad William for their time, effort and contributions here.

Now, let there be Venom!
