I thought I better pen something, just a few things to clear up and the odd request. It’s been a bit of a funny old week. I’d just like to say a welcome to the 50-odd thousand or so more visitors than I normally get who’ve dropped by in the past week.

I should really point out that this is really a political blog, not specifically a technology blog, although I am of course a techie who writes on occasion about technical/IT issues.

I think I’ve got round to answering or responding to all the comments that were directed towards me and I’ll equally try to get round to replying to all the people who have sent me private messages over the past week but please bear with me. With that in mind, I just need to point out that this website is to all intents and purposes my hobby when I have free time so I apologise if it sometimes takes a while to OK comments or to respond but I am a fairly busy guy.

On a side note, a friend of mine did point out that while all this additional traffic was passing through I should have banged in some Google Ads for the click-through but we’ll leave that matter there shall we. Just to note, this site is funded wholly by myself out of my own pocket personally although it doesn’t really cost that much to run.

Two quick requests. I did mention it before but for new people here, I know how strongly some people feel about this issue but if we could keep it mature, preferably no profanity or unfounded allegations then that would be appreciated. I’ve not yet had to edit the content of a comment on this site since it was set up and I would like to not have to. Related to that, if you wish to post links that are quite long and you know how to write the HTML script for links then please do, it saves me having to go through comments and doing it as it throws some of the CSS on the site out which doesn’t look good.

I was going to do a longer post on this issue tonight but I’ve had to do some work and it’s getting late so I’ll leave it for now and hopefully get it done tomorrow.
