1. [Timezones problematize real- time communication]

Yep, but, well, I do have an email address.

2. In order to be a team in the true sense every person on a blog has to become a cog in a machine.

mmhm.

3. While publicly there is probably little indication of combined effort, logistically (behind the scenes) there is much more team work to be seen, blogroll maintenance, checking e-mail, [etc.]

…Isn’t that what I meant when I said “teamwork at the level of empirical content”? – is it not?

4. The only real advantage of being on a multi-author blog is the reduction of logistical difficulties.

Or broadcast expansion. The fact that I’ve gotten more comments due to THAT’s readership is undeniable.

5a. I don’t find lelangir’s [meta shit] to be entirely precise defining the author in relation to the reader, mostly because I think that the average reader is reading mostly because said reader is interested in the series being discussed, with any fondness for the author being secondary or even tertiary [my emphasis]

“…however, because some readers of mecha read Crusader not for the fact that he’s Crusader but that he writes on mecha, that seemingly author-centric reading is merely incidental, as I said before. In this respect, the creation of Crusader functions as an insertion into and expansion of the greater mecha sphere.” – I think we agree.

5b. Personally I don’t think people read my posts because they like tl;dr posts, rather they simply like Gundam 00, Ture Tears, and Macross Frontier.

See 5a…

Well there is this and this – and this OH SHI-. (and heaven forbid 19th-2oth century extended metaphors are useful despite their uniqueness?)

Forgive me for mentioning that Crusader’s intellectual discourse – furthering discourse being the most important thing – is a direct product of my specific circumstances (uniqueness? OH SHI-) – my usefulness? – OH SHI-
