This experiment

I think this experiment has exhausted itself. I have a tendency to linger, as if to give every last chance to the trial and error. I might take up another writing project at some point. Perhaps soon. I keep repeating myself, but you can only overlay a virtual conversation on a real conversation. In other words, a medium is not a trigger. Perhaps the history of ideas would contradict this experience. But the only thing that matters is your own feedback loop.

It is difficult for an outsider to fully understand why you think you must stop writing. I very much appreciated your posts though some made me very angry. I know I am talking for many other readers when I say you had a special and valuable perspective from which we all benefited. I hope you will continue writing and publishing.

ej, thank you so much for your continuing support and encouragement. I am taking a break and even considering another writing platform. But some of the issues I have written about are still intact. My eternal quest to stroll in the Lyceum.

I will miss your writing – one of the more insightful and interesting blogs I’ve found.

Jeff, thank you! I will probably be back to writing in some fashion. Don’t know when or how. Please keep an eye on this space.
