And hey,there's one of you now -- Missy!

Well put!  And when anyone's in doubt about how to deal with cliques, the best approach is to start your own!

Nice entertaining post, John. I have a Leap Year post today also. Check it out. Thanks.

Hey, neat, Steve.  We share a common interest in leap years.

You're in.

See -- it's easy. :) 

That's right, Eric!  Agreeing with me is a great way to go, I salute you.

You're in.

Hey, this is kind of fun.  I wish I'd thought of this earlier.  By the way David Patterson sent me a really nice email so he's in.  And I really wish I hadn't blown it on the recruiting with JulieJ and Mike, but I did, but nevertheless they're awfully nice, and they're in.

Jim Cronin reads me a lot and tries hard to be nice to me even when I'm difficult, so even tough we've had our differences:  in.  Lotta heads on the widget I don't know, but chances are pretty good they're in.

Laurie Mindnich:  In like Flynn.

Maureen:  in.  Other Maureen:  in.  Default setting for anyone named Maureen until proven otherwise:  In.  (Due to Maureenic Karma). 

Bill Gassett:  Naturally, in.

Almost anyone who comments on my Roseville blog even though you only get points if you comment here:  in.  Exception:  those people who have further to go through the appeal process. :) 

John, I commented over at your site and I have to say I could not believe how fast you commented back.  My fingers had verily left the keys.

Yes, I was commenting as soon as I saw you on the MyBlogLog widget.

That's just the kind of service you get from O'Sphere 2.0.

This isn't your Grandfather's Oldmobile O'Sphere.

By the way thanks for saying hi on the other blog -- I appreciate it.  You get Johnosphere points for that. 

I, for one, am truly honored.  After seeing some petty nastiness directed at my favorite John, I need to replace that "other" site.  Done.  Do I get invited twice now?

Well, you're absolutely in, Laurie, but I'm not sure if I can invite you twice without creating an inner Johnosphere and thereby alienating the outer Johnosphere.  :) 

Someone was nasty to me?  Glad I didn't see it.  I hope you smote them for me.

Mine-Enemy-Smiting is one of the Seven Virtuous Acts of Johnularity.   Actually I think there are supposed to be fourteen when you add them all up.

And just think -- some people have nothing to blog about. 

I don't know if I should go for having an inner sanctimonium or not.  Oh wait, sanctum.

Hopefully not Sanka. 

Oh Please  Sir.. can I be part of the Johnosphere.. grovel.. grovel... grovel....

I admire your groveling.  You're in!

Pssst... no one tell Kaye that she would have made it in without groveling, as I do want to encourage cronies and sycophants to apply and don't want them to know I liked Kaye already :)

Mental note:  don't write secret things down.

Now you tell me...

Very funny, actually I heard about your other blog on twitter and went there first. Sometimes my dash board gets so long here, things slip by. 

"Maureen:  in.  Other Maureen:  in.  Default setting for anyone named Maureen until proven otherwise:  In.  (Due to Maureenic Karma)."

Gee thanks.  I suppose I ought to post it on my Maureen network. If I could remember how to get in to it.

I'm sorry, but I'm not the one who calls you Other Maureen.  I think you should start calling yourself Maureen Classic, and make Francis work for it for a change. :)

Holy cow do you really have that many points?

HAH!! Work is overrated.  I can be Michigan Maureen, 

I call myself The Other Maureen on her "Other" blogs.  

Still wondering about my decoder ring.
