It seemed like a good idea at the time....

Some time ago, I had this idea that mister anchovy should be mister anchovy's. I wanted to make it less about my posts and instead build a little community of contributors. I put out a call for contributors and found a few volunteers.

I really appreciate the posts which came in from Archie, WC, Stagg, and VOX. Thanks very much to all of you for joining in this little experiment.

Looking back over the past couple months of posts, I have to conclude that the idea has run its course. I'm going to keep calling this place mister anchovy's rather than the original mister anchovy, but I've decided to go solo again, at least for now. I liked the idea of taking some risks with the direction of the blog, and I still like the idea of creating a community in this space, so I'm willing to consider proposals for future experiments.

Meanwhile, you're stuck with me.

Thank you for the opportunity, Mr. A.

I must admit, I've felt guilty over the past few months for not contributing more. I just haven't felt like I've had appropriate material for Mr. Anchovy's. I'm sorry if you feel let down.

I liked the idea. I think you have created a community of anchovy readers who contribute through their comments as well.
Solo or not I'll still be reading.

No need to feel guilty WC...I don't feel let down. I just wanted to try out the idea, stand back and see what happened.
