Something a little different from the Doctor this week kiddies, I've decided to throw the spotlight on not only a reader but also turning it onto BdotO. This will allow you to see (through a pinhole) into our world of deciphering the loads of reader mail into something concrete to continue entertaining you week after week.

You will please point your attention to the email below (it's in a different colour, #003399 for the ones who care). I have taken mind to keep the composer of this fantastic piece of lovingly crafted work anonymous. That said; please turn your eyes down…

You will note that this individual does actually hold a job, contrary to every law of physic's known to dolphins. So the person in question, by every indication shouldn't be a complete moron (ohhhh moron, how insanely topical - actually it's a bit of a compliment in Iceland - Bah, whatever.) but as it turns out, I think they must be.

Let me take you back to the morning of October 22, the sky was angry that day my friends. It was blustery, I noted when exiting my limo to the offices of www.BoldOpinion.com, the indigents must be in a bad way today, I thought for a microsecond. Then smiling at the security guard (guards actually - this week it was the Swedish bikini team) I trotted up the elevator to the 74th floor and entered the BdotO offices. As I passed reception I tapped World Renowned Web Columnist Christian awake (it was his turn to host our weekly BdotO party - I had to dig through the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders just to get to him). And made my way through the atrium and the worlds largest man made ecosystem (natch) to my office.

The day passes quickly as the morning is full of office tours of visiting dignitaries, musicians and so-called movies stars (George Clooney is a bit of a baby without his first coffee of the day). Then *ding* an email pops up, I open it to reveal the mess above (remember it's a different colour). I don't give it much mind, it is just one of the thousands of congratulatory and commendatory emails recieved daily. Then an idea came to me, what a great way for me to give the readers some feedback. And draw the curtain back a bit on this mystery called www.BoldOpinion.com.

So here we go, please when you send comments in, try to mention what item you are commenting on, that aids the mailroom of BoldOpinion.com when directing the mail to the correct staff member.

So, people - keep those letters coming, we love and appreciate all of you. In fact, we wouldn't be here if it weren't for you. We're still the same BdotO from the block we've always been. So we have a little more now, we haven't changed….Oh excuse me, Kofi Annan has been on hold for about an hour now waiting to talk with me, so I must take leave.

Dr. Know (The same one I've always been)
