We have been doing something right because, after all, there have been 121,442 visits in total. The challenge is to make it even better and skip the notion that it will be some discussion group as it's primary focus. Maybe we should change the name? I'll have to consider that.<br />Grant Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08427367759721561791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4701465355352273487.post-13503968275569780392017-01-30T17:43:43.438-06:002017-01-30T17:43:43.438-06:00I for one enjoy many of your articles.

Facebook and Twitter being two of the biggest causal factors. A person merely has to go to one place (FB/Twitter) and be connected to copious amounts of diverse OR self serving information and commentary. The transitive nature of both of those media outlets and their counterparts also meets the needs of most users who are not interested in what was said yesterday, or even earlier in the day. We have a new and less contemplative NOW GENERATION.<br /><br />Blogs like yours are best served by those who choose to meditate on issues and indulge in careful and time consuming scrutiny and research.<br /><br />Alas, such people are few and far between.<br /><br />doorgunnerjgshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16356236779689884817noreply@blogger.com
