Thanks a lot. I quite like the new format, both HTML version on blog,
and the format used here in this email.

P.S. Small nitpick: you have changed the title of blog post, but not
subject of email.

You seemed to get a lot of flak lastweek, but I liked the content
(both weeks), especially "why git is > than x" and the github
screencast link.   Thanks mate.
