I not only read each comment a half a dozen times, I also go back and see if there are any new comments on the old articles.
We tried to start a talk page for WhitakerOnline but it fizzled out. Most of those tries do.
Then I thought about introducing a comments page each week, but that would mean I would have to edit it. That’s touchy, as anybody who has done any editing knows.
So the comments here represent the first time I have had a two-way exchange with you.
Writing without anybody commenting on it is like talking to yourself. Hell, it IS talking to yourself! I have explained to people that a writer has to be nuts. A writer is somebody who sits at a computer and talks to himself for hours at a time.
He talks to himself by writing it, but that doesn’t make it any more sane.
Anyway if you put something in the comments I will definitely see it, no matter how far back it goes.
I just answered two of the older ones.

Yes, texas man needs to be blocked? Many fiction writers are/were drinkers – not all, since some big exceptions. I am not a fan of fiction, but I am an ex drinker. I don’t know how much drinking Bush did, but I suspect it may have something to do with his not recognizing that he needs to work on being more “articulate”.

I am now cutting out texas’ platitudes. I will soon be bale to do it before it’s on here.
