So, feedback requested on the Dr. Zany thing. Made an otherwise dry post more interesting to read, or pointless and distracting?
Liked it, but thought there was a bit too much of it (e.g. the blue-minimizing robot reference). Might be better to leave out details that don't help you illustrate your point, lest the reader get a sense that your example isn't going anywhere.
Check. It was a good idea, but could've and should've been shortened. I skimmed it, and my guess is that it could've been set up in one or two paragraphs if only the minimum of required detail had been included.
I disagree that there were too many extraneous details about Dr. Zany in this post. They didn't detract from the value of the post and, at least, the blue-minimizing robot reference was funny.
