I'm going with a couple days.

put me in the pool for six weeks.

just go quietly then. the whole big 'sincere' post is such an attention whore thing

We would miss the weblogs co-founder blogging

he's plenty prolific on the social networks, so maybe even weeks.

60 - 90 days ... He will not resist and start working on it again.

I say you'll be back by next Sunday.

He's from Brooklyn and I read it as a complete send-up. At least it read like a joke to me (but I'm from the ECoast, too)..

who cares?
