The fact that some grumble about this blog is nothing more than the waste matter of a cow's husband.

Ken Levine is under no obligation to continue this blog, but I am, and remain, quite grateful that he does.
#I have no mouth and i must scream am rant cracked
I've had a chance to say thanks to both men (and, by default David Isaacs) for cracking up my whole family, up to and including my late Mother-In-Law, who, even after her late-in-life health and cognition issues, still cracked up laughing at Dick Van Dyke and Cheers. It's not part of the "deal" and it is greatly appreciated. I read this every day and it is a treat and an honor to read the writings of someone whose work I enjoy. I say the same about my experiences there as I do here. HE would answer questions and post thoughts there as well, and yes, there was the usual foolishness to be had. He even started KICK, to deal with internet piracy.Įven though the above showed just how much he disliked computers, he had one that he used to occasionally visit a message board set up in his name.

He wrote on manual typewriters, HATED electric typewriters (".I won't even have them in the HOUSE!") and wrote "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream", a nightmarish short story that features a sentient computer confining and torturing the last few people on earth. Over the years, he maintained his dislike of certain technologies. Harlan Ellison said, "I write 'em, you read 'em. Thanks for your posts and for the time and effort you spend in creating them!Īnother writer, the late Harlan Ellison, echoed the sentiment of Humphrey Bogart: "The only thing I owe the public is a good performance". Even if that word was posted first 12 years ago. Each day would be less interesting and a little barren without word from you. Just that your perspective really adds to my day. You have a great BS detector, and I am not trying to be grand.

Does anyone who reads you seriously think you are trying to get one over on anybody? A friend from Scotland once advised me: People. Then again, we live in a society significantly coarsened in recent years. Personally, I think of your posts as gifts, and it is churlish (and worse) for people to take you to task for perceived shortcomings. Hope that ranting today has released some steam to help you keep posting on whatever basis works for you. Even if you posted new material just once a week with reruns for the remaining 6 days, I'd still read your posts (well, maybe ducking out of the baseball ones once I realized the topic). UPDATE: Thank you all for the wonderful comments yesterday. Hopefully I never have to rerun THIS post again. And when that day finally comes, I fully expect these same people to angrily write in demanding refunds. The alternative is ending the blog altogether. And how I choose to frame them is my call. The bottom line is after sixteen years it’s getting harder and harder to maintain this blog. I’ve also been approached to move my blog to a subscription site behind a paywall. I’ve been approached numerous times to do that. You’ll also notice I don’t clutter my blog with ads. How much are you paying for this? Or, put another way, how much am I making for this? Sixteen years of posting mostly every day and my compensation is what again? How many blogs are even still going after sixteen years?

To those people and anyone else who has major issues with this humble blog: Lately, I’ve received some angry comments from readers ripping me because I don’t post that certain weekend entries are reruns. I’ve answered well over 3,000 questions and at least six of them deserve to not just be buried in the archives. Context is important in that regard I believe. And for those I specifically say when they first appeared. Once a month I try to repost a Friday Questions entry from ten years ago or more. Again, someone sees rerun and doesn’t bother. And often times I will revise the stories so they’re not dated or new information will be added. I used to say they were reposts but figured if the subject matter hadn’t dated then why announce it’s a rerun? Someone might say “Oh, then I probably read it” and skip it when in fact they hadn’t and miss out. I figure enough time has passed that most of the people reading it are new to the blog. I will on occasion repost a story from years gone by on the weekend.
