More tales from the fall of books
Dear Publisher,
Thank you so much for your suggestion that I might like to take the series of 2,500 short essays I sent you for your consideration and instead put them on the Internet. It was very thoughtful of you.
Unfortunately I have already done this.
They didn't like them.
The Internet doesn't seem to be particularly keen on complexity... or, um, me.
That's why I thought I'd try pursuing an audience with a higher tolerance for complexity, like cats, or 4-year-olds, or book readers.
You don't happen to know any book readers, do you?
Yeah, I work at a library.
Me either.
Yours,
Feldenstein Calypso

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
