Calling Tafultong

[65if2007]

Tafultong, if you're out there reading this and if you were curious about my absence (it's presumptuous of me to assume that you were), know that I still read your blog entries.

I don't read the public's commentary to them anymore and I don't comment myself because frankly, your unmoderated forum has long been infested with trolls.

I don't know if you've ever considered switching to a mildly-moderated forum in the NIR mold, but you might want to. It's your decision, of course. I'm just saying...

And I'm also curious as to what YOU think of the Wired Italia article. I presume that you have become aware of it, but you have not alluded to it in any of your blog entries.

Best wishes to you.

Hey 65if. Thanks for asking. Yes, I am still out there, (and I'm am glad to hear that you are too) but family and work responsibilities have limited my ability to be as consistent as I would like on the blog. But, I intend to keep at it as much as possible and I have not disappeared completely.

This is a very exciting time in our story and I really wish I could get more opportunities to write about it. NIR did an excellent job covering the Wired Italia article. It does sound interesting, but I have not had the opportunity to study it enough yet to comment on it. I hope to at some point.

I really do enjoy having focused discussions with people (especially with those whose perspectives are different from my own) but I don't have any plans to change formats at this time. I wouldn't know where to begin and I think this forum and several others are capable of providing intelligent discussion in a mildly moderated format.

Anytime you want to shoot the breeze, just call.
