I didn't mention protocol

I didn't mention protocol since if there is such a thing in the blog world I've no idea what it might be. Reply or not as you choose, Hal, I'd never presume to say otherwise. (nice to see this one, though ... thanks)

I'm sorry that you felt

I'm sorry that you felt dissed. Absolutely no disrespect was intended. In fact, I am quite flattered that my post generated so much interest. I didn't know protocol obligated me to reply at various intervals. Honestly, I am comfortable with what I have written and none of the posts made me feel as though I had to clarify or expound on what was already posted.

You are welcome. Hillary

You are welcome. Hillary recently commented on the injustice of the GOP Senate holding up the appointment of Lorretta Lynch. I think she realizes she needs to make sure that minority voters have a reason to come out and vote.

About the time of Hal's first

About the time of Hal's first posting here I listened one night to a travel blog. Its main subject for the night was how to travel and make it pay. The guest was a young woman who had done so with a fair amount of success. She described her business plan intended to keep her traveling the world and which had three main pillars. One was freelance writing, mostly about travel, which she had developed the ability to do well enough to make some money at. She had also donated lots of writing to well known magazines in order to build a resume of published work part of building her name. Each publisher put he internet site info at the end of the article.
Second was building a widely read internet sight of her own with a big enough following such that she could make some money off advertising. Third was part time work on the side where ever she could get it.
The second part of her strategy is the one pertinent here. She said she cross-posted her blog pieces everywhere she could that was devoted to similar interests and also linked to good content on other sites to return the favor. As far as the interests of the various site owners was concerned, this seemed to be a win-win for them all. Her interviewer who had her on for the very reason of making his own site more interesting, and to increase his following, agreed.
I don't know if that same logic applies here for the same reasons. Dagblog doesn't seem to be intended as a business but maybe if its following grew to large enough it would be a welcome bonus. I also don't know if the same attitude towards others cross-posting is held by the owners here but I decided that turnabout was certainly fair play and I posted a complimentary comment at Hal's site, it was an honest compliment, and added that a lot of smart and interesting people interacted at Dagblog and posted a link there in hopes that it might bring in some fresh voices and perspectives.
I do see where MW just put up a blog requesting 'likes' at Facebook. I also hear Chris Hayes do that every time I listen to him. I can only assume that is to increase the number of viewers who check to see what there is to like. That is actually a guess but if there is any other reason, besides vanity which I doubt is why, then I hope someone explains it to me.
So, just sayin', maybe Hal's way just goes with the territory and isn't really rude or dismissive. It's not really that much different than if some regular here linked to Hal's article and he didn't even know about it and so didn't join the conversation. It might still be a good addition to the conversation whether he participates or not.

I don't think it matters.

I have noticed all the old cogs and wheels of the Clinton Conspiracy Machine getting together again.

I think she handled it fine. She turned it in to the State Dept. and they actually aren't able to archive it because they are not up to date with technology. Besides there is no way you can please the CCM.

If I understand your reply correctly, it appears your preference is to post-and-run. While that is entirely your prerogative, it is also blatantly dismissive of Dagblog readers and commenters. Frankly, I'm insulted by your flippant admission of disinterest followed by a promotion for future posts. I'll read them - because I think you produce thoughtful and well-written pieces worth a few minutes of my time. But I'll also be aware that my opinion and/or response will be of no importance to you.

Thanks for all the links.

C'ville Dem - I'm replying to your post tardily I admit but replying Frankly, I had no idea there were so many responses to what I posted until a friend mentioned to me in conversation that the post generated interest. In any case, I don't really have much to add to what I wrote here. But I will post several more articles here that are on point as well as a follow-up to one I posted a few months ago.
