When the page loaded I was instantly excited at the topic and then quickly deflated as I read the recent posts. I immediately became angry at all your detractors and was saddened most of all by #2 in the 'End of the Blog' post. As an individual who knows nothing of your distinguished career (thus unable to conflate your writings and your professional endeavors), I wanted to encourage you to keep contributing in whatever manner you deem fit to a discourse that desperately needs rational, forward-thinking voices like your own, precisely because voices like yours seem outnumbered.<BR/><BR/>Kind Regards,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12505562.post-88561337321059094932008-08-21T01:37:00.000-04:002008-08-21T01:37:00.000-04:00There are many of us who in fact find this resourc...There are many of us who in fact find this resource invaluable.

I cleaned some of them up -- typos and the like -- and deleted a few irrelevant ones, like "no post tomorrow", or ones that didn't work and had nothing to do with copyright (like "can Cats Sense Death?), something I periodically did in the past. <BR/><BR/>Now that the posts are restored, I will do the promised archive -- but first I have to go to Australia and then a week's vacation. I will try to finish before the (Jewish) New Year (Sept. 30), and will send it to those who have emailed me.
