Dear Sheep Overboard:
On your page: http://sheepoverboard.com/olio/testimonials-forgettable/ I noticed this comment:
"I was embarrassed. Friends thought it was yet another website I knocked up over the weekend" … TheSatirist.com
I thought it was very funny.
Kind regards,
Dan Geddes

Hi Dan
First, I’m sorry for the possibly unkind sentiment.
I wrote that around 2004-ish. At the time, starting out, I was comparing my stuff to other ‘personal’ satirists and trying to get attention by mildly teasing them with mention.
Good to see you carrying on the fun after all these years.
Me, I struggle to give my sheep the attention they deserve, but just can’t let go of the old website! Trying now for a ‘literary’ heavy grumbling magazine-look satire. Seem to be losing the playfulness. But love that the Internet let us be so personally expressive.
Kinder Regards, Ed
PS: As a moderately experienced webmaster, one primary lesson learnt is that content trumps appearance. An obsession with design stole time from writing, eventually becoming an addiction. Hence TheSatirist.com is considerably more popular and well-linked on the web than this, and with considerably superior content. Satire is a weak force here. The nearest I get nowadays is .. sarcasm? Sigh.
