Your comments can provoke swift action

There is no “I” in team. But there will be, from now on, in RandBall. Not that anyone cares, but commenter Negative Nellie has made a very good point: It is silly to always use “we” and “our” in this blog. While it was initially done in an attempt to seem less pompous, it really just makes for awkward phrasing — and, ultimately, since there is no crack research staff or doting intern here at RandBall to fetch coffee, “we” and “our” is just plain inaccurate. So, when the situation calls for a first-person singular pronoun, “I” will be the letter of choice from now on. Now if I could just figure out why I even felt it necessary to try to explain all of this, I would be very happy. Needless to say, I will be posting something else VERY soon so this doesn’t stay at the top long.
