Ciel - thank you - there are other reasons why I have stopped posting to
this one particular blog.
The burn out factor is one reason but I am also having more fun in my other blogs, dicussing other things .....HERE is an example. Then there is the question of my schedule becoming extremely busy during the coming weeks, something had to give.

Three days later, you are ranked 54.
You bring a healthy element of intelligence mixed with common sense to Blogit-- something not to be despised! I'm glad you 're not burnt out on Blogit altogether!

Xeno-x - I agree with the "they can't help it" part
You would think that they are being forced to view something that they do not want to, like the guy in the movie "A Clockwork Orange" . . . I still find it amazing that people cannot just move on or leave what they find offensive alone.

Xeno-x - I have some issues with doing that - even though I have done it
many, many times.
Inevitably a person reaches the point where the foibles of this site begin dictating what they are posting.

Presley - thank you, I'm just gong to take a break for awhile
Winter time is the most productive part of my year in terms of computer work. I have promised myself that I am not going to waste as many hours this year as I did last year. Not that Blogging is a complete waste of time but when other things get neglected because of it, the inability to justify it as anything more than a pastime is compounded.

This last post of yours is the only one that has ever disappointed me or pissed me off!
By making that statement to you it's easy to see that I'm just being selfish, because I want you to continue with it. I, however, respect your decision to focus your thoughts and attention elsewhere! I wish you much luck and success in those areas! See you in your other blogs!

Xeno-x - all I can say to those people is that their anger is misplaced
...... I didn't drop them on their heads when they were babies.

Xeno-x -I predict this blog will be out of the top 100 by tomorrow morning
It will be ranked about 598 by day 2. .... I'm just bored and have other things to do. ...I won't be making any deleting decisions in the next few days.

Julia.- I've done the same thing in the past and have decided not to delete
anything just yet.
I'm going to give things a little thought over the next few days.

gome--
you may find that after some time the interest returns...or not. As you say, you'll never know until/if it happens. I deleted some blogs that I was sure I was "finished" with, only to realize later that I missed them!

Talion - that's really all it is - I need a break
It is time to catch up on neglected projects and to do something different.

Well, damn. Despite my disappointment, I understand how you feel. I frequently take breaks from this place as well to recharge my batteries and what not.

arGee - The thought of turning this blog into a book has crossed my mind
But then I bring myself back to reality. I will simply never get to it.

I did that with my columns, Gome...
And now I am promoting my
book across the country! You've already got a snappy title.

arGee - thanx but I may take the time to download and organize everything
into a cohesive entity.
For the time being I have to concentrate on a few other projects, with the most pressing being my online store. After building the storefront from an open source script and adding an industrial directory to it, I have been neglecting the project. I hope to have both the directory and store populated with products and affiliate links respectively, to the point where I can begin promoting it soon. Check it out HERE
