[...] To be clear, I’m talking about the publishing world. Pseudonymous writing still exists in the blog world–although even there it seem to be diminishing [...]

ummm … p.s. – just curious, since you used Sean Connery from The Name of the Rose, does this mean that Brother Maynard was your palimpsest? sort of an echo of Eco? just wond’rin’ …

since i met you in your IRL name/persona at Seabeck before i even knew there was a Brother Maynard, it’s kind of trippy that now i finally get to call you by the first name i knew you as instead of a pseudonymonious saying.

and so, harooh! hoorah! hooray! single-ganger at last!

and congrats to you and Len on the book. and, in the famous words of My Big Fat [Koine] Greek Wedding – “… and there you go!

Glad to meet you Brent. Younger than I had imagined :) Funny thing is that it matters not whether or not you are Brent or Bro May. Same soul. Same spirit. Thanks for who you are.

hahaha … I never know what to call “Grace” anymore because her pseudonym seems more fitting (in my mind) than her real name. But I’m trying to retrain myself … so I’m confused.

Same with Br…. ent. LOL … j/k. I think it’s funny that Brent and Brother Maynard begin with the same consonant combination.

As with Jamie, I’m glad this is out now …

Well sounds you’re more like me than I realized. Similarly I have more missional knowledge and experience and motivation than most clergy I know and started blogging with a few axes to grind. Dealt with the problem by speaking about the church rather than specific churches, as after all the problems are endemic. As time has gone on I focus much more on the future than the past.

LOL! Grace, there are days I get your real name and pseudonym(s) mixed up!
