BRUCE TRIES TO HELP OLE BOB | 2005-12-07

In reply to my piece on how I had lost all the old blogs, Bruce writes:

"Perhaps you can recover some of your old blogs using the internet wayback machine at www.archive.org. "

"If you were referring to http://whitakeronline.org/blog.htm and http://whitakeronline.org/blog_May-2004.htm, they still work for me."

Comment by Bruce

Bruce, I have this problem: often people can explain to me exactly where things are and I can't find them.

This should embarrass me, but I ran out of embarrassment decades ago. Now I just ask for help.

James Kelso told me that my blogs were NOT lost. He and my old team are consulting about it.

What I am doing must be worthwhile. When I get into situations like this, the Bruces and the Kelsos and my old team rush in to help.

Remember, all this, whitakeronline and then my blog, are all MY product. I keep wondering if I am saying things you want to hear or just what I want to say. So I need the reassurance.

But I am the one who keeps pushing moral courage. I have to keep to keep going even when I feel I am going it alone. But the fact that good people charging in to help is a needed relief.

I have seen far too many bitter old right-wingers end up bitching to themselves, and I don't want to join them.

Back to the problem at hand.

I will try the addresses Bruce gave me. Assuming they still don't work for me, how far do they go? Are they up to date?

Every time I need a piece from the old WOL archives, it has disappeared completely. Most of them are still there, but the same rule works for me that works for everybody else: the ones I need are the ones that are missing.

I have a strong suspicion that everything I am saying here is something that happens to you all the time.
