THE ROBERT W. WHITAKER ARCHIVE

GOING BACK OVER COMMENTS | 2004-10-21

I not only read each comment a half a dozen times, I also go back and see if there are any new comments on the old articles.

We tried to start a talk page for WhitakerOnline but it fizzled out. Most of those tries do.

Then I thought about introducing a comments page each week, but that would mean I would have to edit it. That's touchy, as anybody who has done any editing knows.

So the comments here represent the first time I have had a two-way exchange with you.

Writing without anybody commenting on it is like talking to yourself. Hell, it IS talking to yourself! I have explained to people that a writer has to be nuts. A writer is somebody who sits at a computer and talks to himself for hours at a time.

He talks to himself by writing it, but that doesn't make it any more sane.

Anyway if you put something in the comments I will definitely see it, no matter how far back it goes.

I just answered two of the older ones.
