Steve Disects the Spin 0

I’m not going to try to improve on this on how the same story gets spun in opposite ways.

Words matter. Words can hide or conceal reveal the truth.

Steve and I were talking about drive-by posts, like this one, last night. My two or three three or four regular readers (I got a new statistics plugin that actually presents information informatively) know I do a lot of them.

In the course of the conversation, he said, “Yeah, I notice you’ve done that to me, just last week.”

I don’t do it to up my number of posts. This blog is a hobby, not a competition.

I do it when I’ve read something I think is worth, whether for news-worthiness, for humor, or for commentary, and I don’t have any sarcasm commentary to add to it.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
