(Diary Edited. Thanks for the spelling help folks.)
Fare thee well Armando. We hardly knew you. Alas, anonymous blogging is only for the anonymous. Once you become a famous, you can no longer remain anonymous.
I'd say we'll miss you you but I bet we see you again. Maybe not as Armando, but as just some anonymous blogger here at dKos. Just another handle amongst a multitude of other handles. No longer with a low-id number to out you, now with just your words. It will be interesting to see how long before even the new handle (which maybe you have already written under for a while) becomes famous in its own right. Will you get outed twice? Who knows?
Doris Lessing, the famous author, later in life wrote and attempted to publish under a different name. It's just not the same. So much of what one writes, when one is famous, carries the weight and foundation of what was written before.
Your other option is to give your password to some freinds and have several of you write under the name Armando. Then there would be doubt and deniability.
Alas, it's the end of an era and the end of an innocence. Fair you and us all well, Armando.
