I’ve noticed that daily traffic to the Web site almost has doubled, since I began updating regularly. Imagine that. I appreciate your interest, and I read all your comments. Well, I “peruse” all your comments; I’m forced to simply eavesdrop on some of your longer conversations. As you know, I sometimes venture a comment of my own in response to a specific reader comment. I enjoy this, and I wish I could do more of it, but lack of time prevents me. I’ll try to work on that.

Since I’m talking shop today, it’s as good a time as any to say, again, that I don’t always know why the comment of a regular visitor will sometimes go into “moderation.” I haven’t blackballed or red-flagged anyone. Just be patient when it happens to you, and don’t take it personally.
