Oh beware the Ides of March. Birthed on that fateful March 15 day, The Wilberforce Society was a noble blog whose intentions of recognizing great achievements by fellow men for the sake of humankind never really took flight. The society was inspired by English Parliment member William Wilberforce who spent his entire life fighting to end slavery in the British Empire. Wilberforce's life work resulted in great success for civilazation, despite the blog bearing his name becoming a fast failure.
It appears the author would buy Wilberforce paraphenalia on eBay and post about those items "acquired for the collection." It seems candidates deemed worthy of providing a service to humanity were to be nominated and selected for induction into the society each year. Maybe your favorite reaper The Blog Reaper should be nominated for putting an end to dead blogs!

Now that is a blog where it would be fitting to play "Amazing Grace" as the reaper hauls off this blog in his little brief case of blogs.
"When you didn't blog in thirty days
The reaper then appeared.
Twas on that day of your last post
To the reaper you were endeared."
The Blog Reaper... I LOVE the idea ;)
