A Hot Topic

I have waited for several days to return to the subject of my July 6th “hot” entry. I have been reading and re-reading and pondering the many comments I have received, many more by private e-mail than even the unusually high number that got posted on the blog page. I did not want to respond in haste less I overreacted and I wanted time for all sides to get in their opinions on this controversial subject. 

First, I want to thank everyone who entered this fray, no matter what your opinion. Of course it is always satisfying when people applaud your point of view, but some of the most negative comments have been the ones that have made me think the most. I like ideas that make me think! 

Next, I want to get in some technical facts. Some of you complained that your comments didn’t appear on the blog page and it seemed suspicious if they were negative ones. I’m not sure why that sometimes some people have difficulty with the “Comment” function. Perhaps a browser problem? Some accused me of deleting negative comments. Again, there must be computer gremlins in action because I deleted only two comments, and those not because they were negative. The guys involved decided to describe some of their sexual escapades in more graphic detail than I thought the general readership would be interested!  

So to give everyone their shot, please re-post any comments that haven’t appeared on the blog page and you want them entered into the discussion. If they don’t appear within 6 hours, send them to my personal e-mail (queenofcomps@cox.net) with a note and I will put them in a subsequent blog entry. 

Then in a couple of days, I will tackle a response to this hot potato!

Kerr Mudgeon's Gravatar Ms. Scott, the "missing comments" problem isn't new. 'David McKee's Stiffs & Georges' mentioned it awhile ago. It's a computer glitch of some kind, which they haven't been able to track down & fix.
Mr. McKee suggested that if our comments don't appear on the blog, we should send them to him in an email, and he would add them to the blog.
It's happened to me, more than once, that my comments never showed up in 'Stiffs & Georges' immediately, then appeared a few minutes later; sometimes they never do.
One work-around would be to type your comments in a text editor, like 'Microsoft Notepad', then copy & paste it into your "Comments" window. Then, if it gets gobbled up by the computer system, you can paste it into an email & send it directly to David McKee or Jean Scott.

David's Gravatar I use the 64 bit Minefield browser and it does not work well with Hotmail and has no Flash support. This type of issue may be the cause of the problem.
