Waiting Game (Updated, Kicked to the Top) 2
We shall see whether my local rag prints my letter, written in response to this.
Addendum:
Published, almost as written.
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.

Well done. Selah!

I was surprised to see it this morning (we subscribe to delivery). They got a lot of good letters on the shutdown, in addition to the usual hate-filled rants of teabaggery.
I had concluded that I had missed the cut.
