This is the text of a customer service email we received complaing about… well you see if you can figure it out. The original ’spelling’, ‘punctuation’ and ‘capitalization’ have been retained.

Dare Obasanjo stops blogging
I’m sad to see that Dare Obasanjo has decided to stop blogging. Among other things, I’ve found his coverage of the REST vs. WS-* debate very useful. It was Dare who first brought RSS and blogging to my attention through his MSDN Magazine article Building a Desktop News Aggregator. The code he developed for that article ended up becoming RSS Bandit.
I hope he reconsiders; his forthright writing style is very entertaining, and he’s not afraid to say so when Microsoft have screwed up.
Pen name confusion
I was wondering this morning why Penguin always print Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen) when Isak Dinesen was a pen name. This is not their normal practice with other authors with pen names. For example, they don’t print Eric Arthur Blair (George Orwell) or Mary Ann Evans (George Eliot).
I still don’t know why they do it.
