I have recently been invited to join the Watcher’s Council, a blogging group, contending to consist “of some of the most incisive blogs in the ‘sphere, and the longest running group of its kind in existence. Every week, the members nominate two posts each, one written by themselves and one written by someone from outside the group for consideration by the whole Council.Then we vote on the best two posts, with the results appearing on Friday.”

Herewith are the nominations for this week, my first on the Council.  Please note that I’ve only read a few of the posts. . .
