Going Off at Half Cock – twice in one week

Mike K-H is a doddering old fool who should shut down his blog, sell his PC and buy a rocking chair.

Nobody actually said that – at least, not in public. But after last week’s performance, I couldn’t really blame anyone if they did, could I? A long time ago my favourite form master told us not to make excuses, because he’d heard them all before, so I won’t. I’ll just do my best to be more careful, no matter how little time I have.

Blogs tend to die off if their readers aren’t fed a steady diet, but that diet should also be healthy. I don’t want to be part of the majority of publishers on the web, filling it up with rubbish and misinformation, so I will always be grateful to those who – like Peta Stuart-Hunt just did – not only read what I write, but take the trouble to correct me when I am patently wrong.

I’m also happy for people to disagree with me when the truth is debatable. I don’t ‘nofollow’ the links in my comments, but the only ones I delete are those that try to promote some irrelevant product or website without contributing anything to this one.
