Ann Baker, in the voice of Corliss Archer, speaking about her boyfriend Dexter:

Lots of times in the school lunchroom we just look in each other’s eyes and forget to eat. And, golly, that’s really love when two people just look at each other and lose their appetites.

Meet Corliss Archer is a very early TV sitcom, based on an even earlier radio sitcom. It is an absolute hoot.

I’m watching it on Tubi.

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.
