I’ve been cruising various blogs for some time now, but I rarely comment on any of them. The main reason being that when I do have something pertinent to contribute, a quick scan of the comments reveals that someone else has already made the point I planned to make, and I never saw much point in adding “Yeah, what he said” to the comments.
On those rare occasions when (a) I have something to say, and (b) it hasn’t already been said, my comment usually rambles on for so long that I end up deleting it instead of submitting it. On those occasions, I always think “If I’m going to use up this much bandwidth I ought to start my own blog instead of using someone else’s.”
So I finally got around to doing just that. We’ll see what happens with it.
