Appreciation thread for TheFerret-- [View all]

I have always considered all those appreciation threads a bit silly, but now I find that I need to publicly express my admiration for the brilliant essays by TheFerret, who as far I can tell is a relatively new DU member. (I adore ferrets, so I would have noticed the name if I had seen it around for a long time. I would certainly have noticed his fine essays, too.)

Frankly, I think TheFerret is as good as the Rude Pundit. If TheFerret doesn't already have a blog we can all visit, he should start one.
