Readers have noticed that RR has again become a target for spam comments; they appear to be mostly ads from different services/vendors. In an attempt to fight this intrusive nuisance I have limited comments to a thirty day period following the date of my post.
Several readers have suggested that I leave TypePad for a more capable blog server (e.g. WordPress), and I’m prepared to do that. But, given other ongoing projects, I have not found a sufficiently easy way to make the switch. Since RR is a substantial body of work over a seven year period (almost 2,000 posts and over 37,000 comments), my plan would be to leave the TypePad blog intact and simply shut off the commenting. From the new blog I will still want to link to TypePad entries, and give my readers the ability to do the same.
In any event, things would probably move faster in this direction if I could find a service to scrape RR of its contents and put it on a DVD in a searchable format. I would even make this material available on/from the new blog. Ideas/thoughts?
Finally, I take this opportunity to thank all RR readers for frequenting these pages, commenting and contending, and putting up with the inconveniences. It’s the readership and their use of this forum that keeps my putting the hours into this enterprise, hours that, no doubt, could be more productively used elsewhere. Again, thank you.
