Andrew Sullivan, a prolific and pioneering blogger, claimed that if you are not posting at the very least twice a day, and really more like four times a day, you are not really blogging. By that standard, I am not really blogging. But that is okay since I am not really being paid to blog. I do try to post at least a few times a week, but how often I post is finally a function of other more pressing commitments including my studies and doing things that actually pay the bills.

I write all of this to say that if you leave a comment, I’ll do my best to respond as quickly as possible. Sometimes stuff gets in the way though, and it may take me a while to check in. Don’t worry, you are most likely not being ignored.

Also, I’ve recently shifted to a more open commenting policy. First time comments are no longer moderated. My base line, however, remains a basic level of civility.

That said, I do very much appreciate reader’s comments. Interacting with readers from far and wide is one of the more enjoyable aspects of maintaining a blog. So if you’ve commented keep it up, if you’ve been reading in silence, I encourage you to make it a conversation. “Truth,” as philosopher Josef Pieper has noted, “lives in conversation.” I’m especially interested in hearing from you if you’ve got a different angle on something I’ve written about. It can help immensely to hear diverging perspectives.

Again, thanks for reading.
