A nice idea, but no thanks

A regular commenter on this site has suggested I institute a Daily Post open to anyone with something “intelligent, reasoned and non-vitriolic” to say about the issue(s) of the day. (I’m replying to him here because I have no other way of making contact.) I can see why the idea appeals, but it would change the character of this blog and potentially take it in a direction that I never intended. Besides, the job of moderating and editing contributions could take more time than I’m prepared to commit. So thanks, but no thanks. I'll continue to publish the  occasional guest post, as I've done today, but not on an "all comers welcome" basis.  The way is open for anyone else to start a new blog along the lines suggested.

Great Call Karl.

I spend more time here carefully considering the various responses you garner than I do anywhere else. This is your site from which we greatly benefit, not our site to become a burden for you!

Thanks again for your efforts.

Good. I'm here to listen to Karl.

Ditto. I read this blog almost every day, comment only occasionally. Please keep it as is.

Yes, yes, yes and yes to all the above... Thank you Karl.
