I have always SKIMMED thru your articles rather than read every word because of the volume.

You have held yourself to a higher standard than the typical international news agency, much less the typical news blogger.<br /><br />I feel your frustration with blogs and with internet activism in general. It's hard to avoid preaching to the choir because only the choir will be checking your page. Blogging (and in my opinion, quality writing in general) has to be done primarily to satisfy oneself, not to create a measured effect in the populace.<br /><br />I wish all the best for you and your family. Maybe we'll see you again when the kids are grown? The more technology diffuses into the populace, the more lively and important the internet will become, and the more people will miss true journalism.A Southern Gentlemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02262063524394846703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53246864840716464.post-69338623918425390182010-06-02T07:36:28.934-07:002010-06-02T07:36:28.934-07:00It's totally understandable that you would nee...It's totally understandable that you would need a break, but please don't be gone too long!
