Apologies to  anyone that was inconvenienced with the outage yesterday and earlier today.  The outage was an error as noted below by WordPress. I continue to have faith in their service and their attempts to ensure that there are no blogs that use ‘affiliate linking’ is welcome to me.   It turns out in 2007 I pasted a paragraph from another site that I was quoting, and it contained an errant link that a recent update at WordPress picked up.  It was hardly enough to suspend the blog, hence the apology which is accepted.

A small thing, but important nontheless to ensure a spam free service for me and for you.  I just want to focus on the content, and the things of interest to us.
