“Will is...well, he's Will! After all these years of friendship, I couldn't come up with a definition if I wanted to. Don't stop being 'you'! :-P"
-- Scooby; Wed Jan 03, 2007
"Will was the first person to reach out to me on 360. I have found him to be honest, tolerant and very kind. He is one of a kind!"
--Pink Blossom; Wed Feb 14, 2007
"A great man and a deep, free thinker... even if he is a little paranoid on rare occasion. ;) (But is it paranoia when they really ARE out to get you?) lol There are definitely some tough time ahead, and people like this man can help get us through them if someone doesn't panic and push the button."
--Cal; Fri Oct 06, 2006
"Easily one of the most intelligent, articulate blogs I've come across on 360. Will is opinionated, thoughtful, and has both deep insights and broad interests - a rare combination. A class act, for sure. I'm happy to have Will among my friends!"
--Grand; Fri Feb 09, 2007
"Not only is Will a fabulous blogger himself, he inspires good blogging habits in others. What a wonderful writer! He covers fascinating, timely and diverse topics with wit and wisdom. He's someone I'd love to know in real life - I can imagine the great conversations over a bottle (or two) of wine!"
--Anne; Fri Aug 17, 2007
"A man of knowledge and strength. I love to read your page and email with you! You are honest, true and always a great friend. Thank you for being yourself."
-- Tanya; Sat Jan 06, 2007
"Will is one of my favorite bloggers. His insightful comments and wonderful subjects are always intriguing. I consider his fiction riveting the kind of read that once you start you want to continue until it is done. When he publishes his book I will be 1st in line to buy a copy."
-- Mike Chavers; Tue Jun 12, 2007
"If I could only read ten pages on 360, this would be one of them. Will tackles a huge variety of subjects, and still makes time for personal posts and playfulness as well. His writing style is clear, concise, and quite enjoyable to read. Did I mention he happens to be a great guy, too?"
--Tracy; Sat Sep 29, 2007
"Ecce homo: Smart. Opinionated. His pursuits scholarly. Articulate. Loves to garden, Loves to cook. Calls himself jaded. I call him wonderfully renaissance. Calls himself Will. Oh, yes, Will. He's the man. Behold the man."
-- Mei-Xiu; Mon Feb 12, 2007
"I'm writing this testimonial in burst of jubilation for having made the top 128 of Will's 360 blogger buddies.Will is one of my favorite "imaginary friends", even though we don't see eyeball to eyeball on some things. He is bright, articulate, and knows how to stir things up that need to be stirred."
-- Melissa; Sat Feb 10, 2007
"A 'true' Gentleman and Scholar; a man who keeps you on your intellectual toes. A talented & entertaining writer who has the unique ability to make me laugh out loud. He will capture your attention and hold it. His stance in life is a constant and his friendship my honour to behold."
-- Mystie; Mon Dec 18, 2006

-- Jana; Wed Feb 14, 2007
"Will is undoubtedly one of the best writers on 360. He can take any subject and turn it into an outstanding post. He is honest about his opinions and willing to share ideas with others. His blog is one that should be a daily read for anyone that is looking for the serious side of 360."
-- Mark; Fri. Mar. 09, 2007
"A Testicle-Monial for my brother~ We were separated at birth; I was east, he was west! I was Atlantic, he was Pacific. I was chicken soup, he was alfalfa sprouts. We found each other midway on Yahoo. He rants. I rave. About him. It was barchert (meant to be). Now feed the cat and give me a hug."
-- Sans-Souci (New York!); Sat Jul 28, 2007
"Do not wade here expecting shallow waters. There is depth to this man. Will is intelligent, articulate, and gets right to the heart of the matter. Will, you are, by far, my favorite "curmudgeon". *Smile*"
-- Charli; The Blog Lady (Kansas); Wed Sep 12, 2007

-- Tammy; former Yahoo Featured-Blogger; Sat Feb 24, 2007
"'It is time!' Time to speak my truth about Will...you da man!! We don't see eye to eye on many things, but Will likes me - why, I cannot imagine! His magnetism lies in his willingness to embrace even the unembraceable. I am in love, and unashamed! Mess with Will? Pfftt! Boops'll see you outside!"
-- Teri; The Boopster - Thu May 10, 2007
"What to say about the enigmatic Astra? Look no further for discourse with an honest, forthright, intellectual. Astra will challenge your beliefs as well as share his vast knowledge and wit. It is my great pleasure to know Will."
-- Cali; Wed Aug 08, 2007

--Justina; Tue Apr 10, 2007
"He's not just a peaceful, hilltop dwelling troll, he's also known as "The All American Super Blogger"! Whatever subject he chooses to write about, by the time you've finished reading his first paragraph, he'll have you sucked into the vortex of his passionate writing style. Love ya Will!"
-- Reconstituted Teenager; Mon Feb 12, 2007
"Will and I don't see eye to eye on a lot of things, but he has the increasingly rare ability to engage in civil discourse with people of opposing views without engaging in personal attacks. He is a talented writer and all around interesting guy. His page is very original and refreshing."
-- Carl; Fri Sep 21, 2007
"Just when I think no one is listening anyway, you pop up and remind me that indeed we all matter...thank you for your encouragement, your friendship is much appreciated."

"Here is a man of substance. A man of exceptional abilities and interests. You can learn a lot from him. Stay tuned."
-- Bert; the Chicken; Sun Jul 15, 2007
"What can be said about a thought provoking curmudgeon? *sighs* Well, for starters, (as there's no way I'll be able to say it all) Will forgive me this platitude, but you are for all intensive purposes the most intelligent curmudgeon I know with a personality I've grown to love very much. The best!"
-- Kidlette; Sat. Dec. 16, 2006
"This is a man whose writings will always make you think. Articulate, sometimes funny, sometimes serious but always tactful. He openly shares his views on topics most people shy away from and does so in a thoughtful and respectful manner without trying to force his opinions on his readers."
-- Vicky; Thu May 31, 2007
"From his thought-provoking original series, to his updates on Chloe and current events, Will keeps you wondering on what he'll post on next. This page is a daily read for me. Once you stop by this page, you're hooked."
-- Meg; Sat Aug 11, 2007
"I could say much...but Will says it better. What I can say though is simple...this blog, this writer, this man is a gift to 360 and the world. We should all be so lucky to be called a Friend in his world and in this one...;-)"
-- Elle; Sun Jul 01, 2007

--Gaby; Wed Jan 03, 2007
"I am still new to the whole blogging experience, and I was lucky that Astra's page was one of the first ones I came across. His blogs are amazing -- always brilliantly written, with interesting, diverse topics. And don't let him tell you he's a curmudgeon -- he's a great guy and a wonderful friend!"
-- Redhead; Thu May 03, 2007
"Will is far and away one of the best bloggers on 360. You may not always agree with him but he has a will thought out point of view and is tolerant with those who disagree; you can have a dialogue with him. In other words he is a gentle-man."
-- Denurd; Sat Jun 30, 2007
"Will the Wizard of Words..I am always delighted by his beliefs around his beliefs! He is my one daily read........always pushes on the edge!"
-- Coyote Woman; Thu Jun 28, 2007
"A consummate craftsman, a brilliant writer, and an intriguing thinker barely describe Will. From the obvious to the sublime, this master wordsmith’s examinations of life and cabinetmaking are not to be missed. His sense of humor, eye for the absurd and keen intellect makes this a daily must read."
-- Steve (Texas); Mon Feb 19, 2007
"OMG when did I return to your friends list? I was cut during the "great culling," but I guess I earned my way back! Your blog is a great and thought-provoking read. I wish I had your work ethic. You write almost every day,and you always have something worthwhile to say."
-- Acoustic Bob; Sun Apr 29, 2007
"Taketh Sir Agincourt's word when I tell you that you will not read a better blog anywhere on the World Wide Web than Astra's. He is a man of integrity, wisdom, wit, honesty, broad knowledge and interests -- the Renaissance Man meets The Matrix! More importantly, he is the best of men."
