Mike Almeida has kindly accepted our invitation to become the latest contributor to PEA Soup. Mike is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Texas at San Antonio, where he specializes in ethics, and has regularly commented on posts here at PEA Soup. Welcome, Mike! We're glad to have you aboard.
Thanks for the kind invitation, Dan. And thanks to the other editors at PEA Soup. It was really very timely. The place certainly needs another 'Mike' contributing...

Welcome Mike, good to have you on board.

Yes, welcome aboard; we can never have enough Mikes. Now that we're on a roll, we should invite Michael Smith.

Yes, welcome, Michael. In light of the present Almeida/Cholbi/Huemer siutation (not to mention the frequent appearance of Michael Ridge in our comments), perhaps we should all adopt ludicrously effete British-prep-school sounding nicknames (Poppy, Biff, Cucumber, etc.) to differentiate ourselves in the comments.

Michael Smith is a terrific idea. Who's going to tell him he's Cucumber?
Posted by: Mike | February 07, 2006 at 09:17 AM
Not it!

I'll tell him.
It's good to have you aboard too, Mike. I'm happy to see that PEA Soup is faithfully following the consequentialist maxim: maximize the quantity of Mike's.
