A Word About Comments On My Blog.

I get comments from time to time. All get read. But I will only publish those that do not have links to other peoples sites. Some people (usually with an anonymous name) leave a lot of comments always complimentary, but always ending with links to their sites, loans, products they're selling etc. etc. I run this blog for free, for my pleasure in learning, and with no thought about cashing in. If you are someone who is trying to sell things you are out of luck here. I will not place ads, promote products, or publish links to sites that are trying to take peoples money. This site is strictly for all of us who want to learn for free, without the hassle of sponsors or advertisers bothering us. Hopefully everyone here is having fun learning.
