I do just want to point out that the blog post you dug up (I did too!)
was Simon's, not mine.
Which blog post and by dug up do you mean "found" or do you mean "liked" (as in
"I totally dig chocolate chip cookies."), or something else? Sorry, but I
sometimes have problems understanding such idioms (and I'm not a native
speaker of English).
You referenced a post on oreillynet - you didn't provide a link, but I
am pretty sure you were referring to something Simon St Laurent wrote,
but you seemed to be attributing to me. It's not a problem - I was just
trying to set the record straight.
