Thank you so much for all the traffic, we’re using our hit counter as a fan at the office.

My my, aren’t the minions vocal, alas what they lack in intellect and the ability to address the actual issue, they sure make up for in passion. Indeed, I’m in absolute awe, you could invade a small country with that much cannon-fodder, they’re truly adorable.

Sadly though, they seem to prove my point.

Glancing at your lovelys’ links I see that they’re all, bar two, email addys and not blogs. You see, I was never arguing about your content , you’re without a doubt a far better writer than I, I was simply saying that in the spirit of things, you’re not a blog, a fact I still believe.

You have readers, we don’t, we form part of a larger community. You tell stories, we dont, we start and participate in conversations.

Conversations and community = blogging

What I have seen from the feedback though, is that your readers are obviously keen to show their support, why not give them that chance on your website? Why not let them have their say? You talk about not having the time, and various technical reasons for not giving it a go, but I assure you, you could maintain the integrity of your site structure and still be up and running within a day or two.

Still you may be right, tell you what, here’s a challenge for you: add a feed, add comments and add permalinks, and if no-one uses them, I will happily, and publicly admit defeat.

With respect,
