Warning: By our standards, this post is actually pretty serious. Consider yourself warned.

Well, the most observant among you, our dear and esteemed readers, have likely noticed a couple of new people have been contributing to Sadly, No! of late. Brad R. started messing with the place when we left for CeBIT, and Gavin M. (no relation to Pete M.) made his first post on Friday.

If the emails we’ve received so far are any indication, you believe they are both fine people with small penises who need all the AbsorbShun they can get their hands on. And S,N! is well known in the field of blogging for being a good source of penis enhancing material. So the marriage is, in effect, a great one. Brad and Gavin will help us offer something that was, until now, impossible: instead of one man offering sub par material on a semi-regular basis, you will now have 3 men offering sub par material on a totally regular basis. How much would you pay for this service? If you answered nothing you’re in luck because that’s how much we’re asking you to pay (and how much we’re paying Brad and Gavin.)

Why didn’t we look for women to provide some balance? Well, it’s true what they say about funny women: the good one is taken. The ones that are free tend to be funny in that unintentional sort of way that probably isn’t right for Sadly, No! at this time. (Besides, Susan Estrich won’t return our calls.)

We won’t be going away (sadly!) although what we said a few days ago is true: with the scheduled birth of our first child in June, chances are our time will be somewhat limited. We didn’t want to say anything about it until now to postpone the unavoidable parade of “So, have you caught the guy who did it?” Now that you do know however: send in the clowns.

In addition to new writers, we’ll also be tweaking the design of the site and will (at last) bring back the style switcher feature so that those who prefer dark-on-light no longer have to suffer from our fondness for light-on-dark. The redesign will also incorporate the first ever S,N! logo, because having someone do that for us proved to be a great deal easier than writing new and witty material for the site. Take it as a “sorry we’re not funny anymore” token apology.

Well, that’s it from us. Flame on!
