The Work Has Begun...

First of all, to all email subscribers:

Feedburner is having a major glitch and sending posts from last year to you each day. So sorry to bombard you with unnecessary emails. I am working on the solution which may involve having you re-subscribe with a new email subscriber service, Feedblitz.
