You could have knocked me down with a feather when I received the following email earlier today.

There’s yet another Sibby/Sobby doppelganger.

Dear Mr. Heidelberger, Mr. Epp, and Mr. Powers:

You three gentlemen seem like reasonable and influential bloggers.  Then again, that is like saying that you are the top students in remedial class.

However, I am dismayed by the unwarranted attacks that my fellow triplet Cousin Sobby has recently unleashed on my other triplet, Cousin Sibby.  It is terrible to see such family dirty laundry aired so publicly.

Thus, I am reluctantly going to blog from time to time to try and keep both of my, shall we say, “special” cousins from getting too mean with each other.

Also, while they have their searches for The Truth and The Pudding, I have my own search for The Couth.

My first posting should begin to explain things.

My blog’s URL is http://swabbyonline.blogspot.com and my RSS feed is http://swabbyonline.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default.

I would much rather be reading my new copy of The New York Review of Books or listening to classical music on Minnesota Public Radio (SD Public Radio is simply GAUCHE!) but this internecine family kerfuffle must be stopped.

Your efforts in this regard are greatly appreciated.

Most sincerely,

Swabby Online
