Once again, a posting policy re-reiteration.

Apparently I have to put in caps something I've said before several times:
STOP WASTING MY TIME AND YOURS POSTING LINKS TO SITES THAT A., ARE NOT REMOTELY RELEVANT OR RELATED TO THE POST OR B., DON'T DESCRIBE IN FULL WHAT THEY ARE (BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE TIME TO GO TO THEM TO CHECK THEM OUT) OR C., COME FROM ANONYMOUS POSTERS. IF THEY RUN AFOUL OF ANY OF THOSE NO-NOS, THEY WILL NOT BE POSTED. PERIOD. SERIOUSLY, PEOPLE, JUST DELETING THEM IS A SERIOUS WASTE OF TIME ON ALL OUR PARTS.

I usually don't post links, but this is one you all need to see. The A-holes that make up the CT congressional delegation think the intolerable acts they have passed here should be the law from sea to shining sea.

I have said before to all of you living in The Free States of America; don't think for one minute what happens behind enemy lines here in Kommiecticut won't someday end up being proposed nationally. This is another shining example. After Sandy Hook, the anti-gun zealots stated (in their own words on video) that this was only the beginning. They want civilian gun ownership abolished, and LEO/Military access to firearms severely limited.

I live in CT .. the new laws have had no affect on me, being an American an all, I just ignore their goofy laws.

Respectfully disagree, Dutchman6!

To paraphrase Plucky Duck, "No! Stop! Not my turn to write the blog! Your turn to write the blog! Not my turn to screen the comments! Your turn to screen the comments!"

If I see an article that I think you need to see, I'm gonna post the link in a comment. Period. Because it's the quickest most convenient way for me to get it to your eyes and potentially the eyes of the other SSI readers at my disposal. If you want to dump it, that's your decision. Your blog, your rules. If screening comments is becoming too much of a time eater, and I can see where it could, bring in a screener.

Then they will keep getting deleted. Period. If you want to get me to look at something, send it in an email. There is no difference to you in time, there is plenty difference to me. And advice to "get a screener" is worse than useless. You think that hasn't occurred to me? But with that position comes keys to the kingdom -- passwords, access, trust that their judgment is as informed as mine and reflects my own intentions. People who meet that standard can be counted on one hand and they are all busy as hell themselves. It's like people who tell me, "you should do this," or, "you should do that," without volunteering to make it happen or contributing anything to their bright idea. I may wish in one hand and shit in the other but my Grandpa Vanderboegh long ago told me which fills up first. Again, if you want to send a link, send it email where I can at least see who it's coming from. Otherwise, it's deleted. Period. And all you're doing otherwise is adding to my workload. Thanks for all the help.
