Today On Line Opinion published our 4001st author. It's the beginning of a new millenium!

Here is what I said in this morning's newsletter. You can see an extended version of it on our blog http://www.ambitgambit.com/2011/11/11/author-4001-on-111111/.

Today On Line Opinion publishes it 4001st author, John Burnheim. Yesterday we published our 4000th James Wight. These two speak more eloquently about what makes OLO unique and important than anything else I can think of.

Burnheim is a former Professor of Philosophy at Australia's oldest and most prestigious university - Sydney. You don't get much more erudite or abstract than a professor of philosophy. Wight, is a science student at Macquarie, one of Australia's younger universities. He's in his earliest career as a writer. Both of these authors sought us out as a good place to publish.

That's what OLO is about: bringing new and established together in a place that reaches out to all Australians, no matter who they are or where they come from. We are not an exclusive coterie of the same old writers, but a broad canvass of as much of current thought and discussion on politics and current affairs as we can be; giving due respect to those who are established and reaching out to those whose name is yet to be made.

On good authority: Good news on a morn in Flanders.

Graham tweeted http://twitter.com/#!/GrahamY/status/134815267405570048 ,
OLO tweeted http://twitter.com/#!/OnLineOpinion/status/134815260896018432 ,
I'd tweeted http://twitter.com/#!/ForrestGumpp/status/134810271377141760 , you see
In just a few minutes we'd tweeted all three.

I wasn't too stupid, just blind don't you see?
The gauche 'Authors' button just isn't in sight
Till you click the 'Search' button, the wee tiny mite
Hiding right down the bottom in just six point type.

That tiny text button brings up the 'Search' page
At left of which buttons with drop-downs parade!
So now, just for Lexi, in this info drowning
but knowing the metre, a few rounds from Browning:

Congrats Graham and kudos for the forum as a whole, the need for a gratis publisher of intellectual expression is vital because we as individuals live varied and insular realities, and mainstream has never moved humanity forward.

John Burnheim is a stratosphere from me ideologically on the subject of leadership and governance but given he is a spasmodic publisher without OLO his voice would be muffled. Once again congrats and thank you for a valid contribution to our society.
