If I am slow to acknowledge your comments, please forgive me.  I see them as they come through my e-mail, and it takes me a while to get to my blog.

People with something to sell seem to love my blog.  People who are practicing English as a second language  (and who NEED that practice), seem to find me fair game. The occasional sex-crazed looney comes by, too.  You all know what it’s like.  I read most of those posts, trying to be fair and not discourage someone who might really be interested, but usually the e-mail address makes me decide to delete the comment.

Friends are welcome here, people looking to pass on a virus or sell something are not.
