Amateur operations

I thought I'd take a moment to mention a few things. First, with these latest additions we now have a whopping 158 registered B-Team blogs. We still receive from 2 to 5 new applications every week. Who would have ever thought there were so many self-deprecating amatuers in such a relatively small community. It must be a Catholic thing, huh?

I also want to apologize to those folks who have found themselves waiting for three to four weeks to get posted. It stinks and I'm sorry. For future applicants, let me explain. In a perfect world I would check this email account multiple times a day and as soon as an application comes in check out the site and post the application. That's in a perfect world - or at least a professional world. In the amateur world I check the account once or twice a week and after four to five apps have accumulated I wait for an evening - usually on a weekend - when I can post all (or most) of them in one sitting. I have some obligations outside of the typical family/work realm and my free time is generally limited to 5 to 20 minute blocks of time. Of course, if I can't get it in on the weekend then you're stuck waiting another week or more. I know that's an amateurish way to operate, but would you expect anything less ...err ...more?

Anyway, I'd like to again welcome the latest inductees and remind you all to install the B-Team badge (and blogroll if you choose) if you haven't already.
