Np. It's not a capital offense. When I saw those two info-graphic links in both your kickers, I assumed they were deliberate. I got bombarded by advertisers offering us "quality content" with itty bitty text links and info-graphics stuck in them.

Ironically, I also get bombarded by requests to remove text links and info-graphics from old blog posts. Apparently, the advertisers sometimes go overboard, and google penalizes them for spamming. Then they come begging to remove the links to clear their reputation. (Begging is the wrong word, actually. The emails are usually obnoxious and vaguely threatening--as it if were our fault that google punished them. I usually tell them to go F themselves in so many words.)

In any case, you're a good writer. I hope you'll keep posting here, just without the info-graphics. Merry Christmas or whatever you may celebrate or refrain from celebrating!

Apologies! These things make

Apologies! These things make their way into my Twitter feed and I'm sometimes inspired to write about them. I had no commercial intentions.

Hi Daniel, while I welcome your articulate and well-written essays on drug policy, we don't allow in-text advertising at dagblog. I've edited this post and the former one to remove the ads. I encourage you to continue to blog here, but please omit the info-graphic links. Thanks.
