I used to have a post asking people who their heroes were, and through a series of misadventures it no longer exists. Someone who didn’t sign their name to a comment said it was a “lame topic,” and perhaps that’s true. I’d love to get some conversations started on the comment pages, but I don’t think I have enough readers for that. Still, in usual form, Mike wrote a great comment that I will repeat here, since it’s vanished along with the post:

I don’t have heroes. Don’t believe in ’em. I believe in good people who sometimes do great things, and then screw up as often as the rest of us. Best not to put them up on pedestals.

Well said, Mike.
