Alright, while I personally think santoswoodenlegs will resume his significant, relevant and extemely funny body of work, I am concerned that he is losing his edge as evidenced by his recent fanposts. Will he ever return to the type of poster the BCBers imagined him always to be. I've stated here before why I think SWL will always exceed our expectations in the blogosphere, but his god awful personal attacks on an unassuming, always amiable and insight poster, which doesn't allow him time to photoshop and otherwise create the witty comments we've come to expect make me wonder. When he does post, it's nothing like we're used to and, at times, comes out of LF, or is less original. (His last two fanposts said basically word for word the same thing, so, to whoever may say I don't have a "trained eye", you can read them yourselves and tell me if you think you need a trained eye to see what I mean!).

Anyway, having said that, I think that maybe if he is still struggling after this week, he needs to have his fanposts moved down in the sidebar, to fanshots at the very least and maybe even be limited to the comments section. I would put dat cubfan daver , who I have much more confidence in lately, and I imagine Al would too, in his place to shake things up and he would be a photoshop and satire guy as well.

Not at all saying this after a tough couple of days and is in no way a knee jerk reaction, but even the staunchest SWL fan must admit his struggles in the last day or two and maybe it's due to the pressures of writing fresh content, or we have made the adjustment to him and our expectations are too high. Without a break, I don't see any signs of him being able to return to funny, satirical posts that are not exactly the same as his last ones.

How long until someone accuses SWL of decline, like DLee, or regression to the mean, like Theriot, if he continues his struggles at fanposts?
