So Long (and thanks for all the fish) I've been putting off writing this post, but I can't put this off forever: I'm closing down my blog.  This blog has always been a hobby, and as happens in life, I've moved on to other things.  I've also discovered that it's not really healthy for me to read thousands of news articles a day and to be aware of every tragedy and scandal across the continent. Comments are still welcome, and every now and then I'll moderate them.  All related email lists will be shut down. A big thank you to my readers: when I started off you gave me financial support to buy books on the topic, but more than anything else, you forced me to think.  In the many arguments and debates I've had with you over the years, both by email and by blog comments, I've had to review and rethink my positions.  I didn't always agree with you, but my opinions have definitely developed over the years.

Dear Readers, I 'll be going on blog-vacation for the month of June. I'll continue to monitor comments, though much less often.  Commentators who do not follow the comment policy will be banned.  If your comment is not accepted by the automatic moderation system, try rephrasing it. Esther

From now on, my "In Other News" posts will be posted on my blog.  The main advantage: you can now comment on these news items as well. There are still a few problems to work out.  I'll continue tinkering with it, and will be glad for any comments or suggestions. Updated: I managed to separate the two feeds: one for the regular blog posts and one for the "in other news" posts .   However, I don't see a way to do this for the GoogleGroups email subscribers.
