I left a comment on an old blog post, here.

"Ha ha. Wouldn't it be funny if I started it up again? 18 years have passed!"
"But in the larger scheme of things, what is 18 years? The whole idea was to liberate myself to wander around on the time line."

Lovely walk down memory lane—both the blog itself and the content has ghlighted therein.
The next post down in your old TTTBF blog is titled "Tough Anti-Communists Reject "Moral-Equivalence". In that entry, you and the Times cite a talk by Tom Wolfe titled "The Intellegent (sp) coed's Guide to Socialism." Sounds like a topic very relevant to today's discourse. Maybe 18 years from now you can come back to today's blog and comment.
“highlighted”. Jeez.
There was a Ray Bradbury story about the last man on Mars. All the cities had been evacuated so he created digital versions of himself that he could talk to on the phone. Eventually, each version of himself had a slightly different personality based on how old he had been when he had created that copy of himself. Then after he died, the digital versions started to call each other and talk about what they were like at that phase in their lives.
Back to the future.

It's also possible to get shunted into spam by the machine. We try to keep an eye on that and release the miscaught good stuff. We do delete some comments, but not for viewpoint... for bad faith. Also: No italics, even briefly. Use asterisks for emphasis. And don't play with the format by changing fonts or using boldface or all caps.
