I believe that I will post less frequently, and that I will hold the responses to the topics at hand. In other words, if people want to converse on their own, they can ask me to pass their e-mails on to each other. Maybe I will, maybe I won’t, probably the latter, because weirdos exist in the world and I have no way of detecting them.

But off-topic responses will go unposted.

You may recall that initially I did not respond to people who wrote in. Andrew encouraged me to, as a way of building an "online community."

Well, it took too much time. And we got off track. And I wrote a lot of meaningless stuff. So, even though our numbers were admirable, I wasn’t having any fun.

One rule of retirement is: You don’t have to do anything that’s not fun.

Even if you unretire, as I will do on Monday.

So stayed tuned if you’re interested. This is a floating experiment, subject to my whims. And it’s free. That right there is a good reason not to continue it.
