Riding on the coattails...

Being a busy sort of guy, I haven't checked in here in some time. Oh, my intentions were good, but the amount of unemcumbered time on my schedule is getting mighty scarce. Some things must simply go...checking in was one of them.

Those who blog on a regular basis have already experienced that about which I choose to write. I checked my email and realized that some ill-meaning leeches chose to take advantage of the fact that my blog allows comments. I had thought that something I had to say here might be of sufficient interest justify a post. Instead of pithy, meaningful comments related to my posts, I found ads promoting someone's distance learning scheme. I have decided to turn off the comments feature, and I'll have to think long and hard before I turn it on again.

It's a pity, too. I was hoping to stimulate some intelligent conversation. Thanks a lot, folks. What worries me most about the people who do such things is that they attempt to invalidate the medium as a means of expression by posting their cyber grafitti. I do not wish to be associated with them.

Okay, I'm through ranting now. Please return to your regularly-scheduled life. Thanks for listening.
