		<description>Hi Lin,

&quot;A List&quot; blogger means he/she has an influence or has a big follower.  You can tell when you see each of their posts getting hundreds of comments.  I&#039;m exaggerating, but you know what I mean.

For me, a successful blogger is the one that sticks with it, doing what he/she sets out to do. It&#039;s a marathon, not a sprint.  It&#039;s a discipline.

So by the end of 2010, if I see still blogging, you&#039;re successful, IMHO.

I also like to thank you for supporting my blog. Your insight is valuable to me!</description>

		<description>Hi Rudy (and Steve),

It&#039;s really sad when I hear a blogger say they&#039;re burnt out or are thinking about quitting blogging. I&#039;m glad you are sticking around and will still be blogging, despite the others who are choosing to give up. 

I personally would like to know, Who decided who the &quot;A listers&quot; are? Who voted these peeps into the A-lister club, the all-knowing, the ya-gotta-imitate-these-guys or girls if you want to be a successful blogger?, and, what does being a successful blogger mean anyway? I would think that being a successful blogger means something different to each person who has and writes for a blog, and it&#039;s up to each blogger to figure out what they&#039;re ultimate goal for blogging is - and just do it.</description>

		<description>Hey Steve,

I don&#039;t want to be a pro-athlete, or I&#039;ll end up with an affair with 11 women. ;-)

I&#039;m looking forward to your new post!

Merry Christmas!</description>

		<description>hey Rudy,
I for one am glad you are &quot;still blogging&quot;. I think that is because, as you describe, you are doing it for the right reason... for yourself and because you enjoy it. I think a lot of people get into blogging because they think they&#039;ll get rich or famous (or both). I think that&#039;s like playing basketball because you think you&#039;ll end up in the NBA...
Anyway, I&#039;m starting to ramble, so I&#039;ll just say &quot;keep it up&quot; (and I should write a post soon myself :) )
Merry Christmas! Steve (a fellow geek)</description>
