  i don’t think we meant to “dictate” just showing support. if that is frowned upon by wp, of course we won’t do it. well at least i won’t.

  Not only that, but bloggers are perfectly entitled to ask for what works best for them; they’re encouraged to do so, in fact. And having a weekend support person would work better for us, particularly if you consider that Mark might drop dead of overwork and then we’d have NO support.

  My suggestion was to be kind to Mark for all his hard work. That is why I suggested starting a drive to give Mark a break (completey) over the weekend. If this is an infraction on policy, then so be it. No mutiny intended. Just trying to feed the hand that helps you and me!

  I’m fine thank you :)

  I love what I do and to go without the net for even 1 day let alone 2 is a scary scary thing indeed!
  The whole team puts a huge amount of work in – it’s just I’m probably the most visible.

  >”to go without the net for even 1 day let alone 2 is a scary scary thing indeed!”
  Ah…aka: addiction! Leads to: burn out. I know. Took: three YEARS to get my brains back, after working 5 am to 1 am, 6 1/2 days a week, 16 months straight. Not Living. Not joking: back off, in stages, until you put Balance–family, play, friends, fun, books, exercise, long dinners, nature–back into your life. Don’t: don’t say you weren’t warned. Wanna go THREE years without the net? Seen a question, ever –that Truly Could NOT wait awhile –for A Reply? If WordPress ‘fell down’ –all the servers all over the world suddenly went *POOF* –you’d probably get a call, right? So?

  Thanks for all your hard work and dedication Mark. You are a blessing to all of us. Please take care of yourself, too. I am seeking to find balance myself. I notice it every time I pass by it from one extreme to another in my process. Just works that way. Progress not perfection.

  Have a great week and thank you for all your and the other support staff at Word Press.com
