>>>9:41 PM>>One of the first things bland noticed when he began posting in cyberspace (on Yahoo, originally) was how dreadfully, crashingly serious so many posters were about it. About themselves, particularly, and about sacrosanct their words and opinions were.
Bland adopted the third person as a bit of wry satire on that curious phenomenon. He has typically used it as a way to poke fun at himself rather than at others...<<<<<<

>>10:41 PM>>Bland didn't adopt it to "show others" so much as to keep it in perspective for himself.<<<<<<
