Its like having a load of pen pals!<br />I read blogs for different reasons. I like your writing style, and if it were a book I'd buy it, I like to see Warren and Deans daily updates, Tilmouth often has some interesting takes on things. Some local bloggers are informative. One thing is common I think, in that the ones I like can be quirky and a bit different. I'm not into things that are too polished, technical and frightened to have a bit of crack....<br /><br />Keep up the good work.

If they don't, that's fine too.<br />Your blog, Steve, is always thought provoking and a good read whilst others, like mine, are routine and pretty boring.<br />My biggest criticism is that the internet is clogged up with so many blogs that are only updated every few months and I wonder why these bloggers bother at all.Graham Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12908280556207762311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8802206289996500659.post-80113685932154187052010-11-27T05:27:56.408+00:002010-11-27T05:27:56.408+00:00By eck, Steve, what a lot of questions.

The only answer i can give is to the title and that is, that i`m glad that some people blog.<br /><br />I think that was the easy way out, but then again it is me who`s commenting ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8802206289996500659.post-16200144933956866222010-11-26T20:45:28.498+00:002010-11-26T20:45:28.498+00:00The trouble with introspection is that the view is...The trouble with introspection is that the view is often rather unsatisfying. I ask myself similar questions. Are we just performers looking for approval? Applause? How shallow is that?<br /><br />These are questions for writing down and putting aside for later. Much later. ;o)Gavin Haighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17242398421328525578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8802206289996500659.post-64854621616727501942010-11-26T14:40:24.484+00:002010-11-26T14:40:24.484+00:00Yes; probably, no; no; no; probably not; yes; yes;...Yes; probably, no; no; no; probably not; yes; yes; yes; bit of both I guess; yes; the former; some; again some; perhaps I'd like to think so; sporadically; disagree, we could; not teeling as it would make you rich rather than me and haven;t though of it yet anyway; personally, it will pay the mortgage and let me go birding moreAlan Tilmouthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10201030182018368937noreply@blogger.com
