TMI and general yip-yap; our pledge to you.

So I was reading Erin's post yesterday about what constitutes personally acceptable fodder for her to write publicly about and how it differs from what she was prepared to reveal in the past. It's a good read. It touches on some of the same stuff I've struggled with in the past as far as what to reveal, how to reveal it, and how much of my editorial hand should be transparent and how much should be manipulating¹ the reader.

The only thing I didn't really agree with is her supposition that after about three years most bloggers tend to shed the personal TMI sorts of posts and opt for "more yip-yap about the random oddities."

I would like to assure you that we here at Tankboy Enterprises will always give you TMI and general yip-yap.

So you can rest easy now.

¹This really is less Machiavellian than it sounds. At the core every single piece of writing is trying to manipulate the reader in one way or another. It's the basis of the whole endeavor.†

†Also, FYI, you will notice the footnotes are now always in bold and easier to read. This is due to Erin's original carping that her old eyes couldn't make out the footnotes in the past. This one's for you Shea.
