Earlier today I had mapped out how I would write my last blog entry. I'd explain why I was wrapping it up, interleaving the entry with comments about reading Gullible's Travels - The Adventures of a Bad Taste Tourist, in which Cash Peters admirably admits, "If it's tacky, lowbrow, kitschy, crappy, a third-rate rip-off of something better, or just ( Read more... )

It's not about the ack so much as having data flowing in both directions. Blog conversations tend to be short-lived, and are usually over before they get a chance to mutate into something unexpected or before one side has had a chance to ask all the questions that spring to his or her mind. That last point may very well be more important to introverts than extraverts.

I had also hoped that blogging would help with my tendency to forget what I've said to whom. I often repeat the same news to some people and forget to tell others about it entirely. While blogging does help insure that I say things only once, it doesn't help when most of the people I keep in touch with don't read blogs.

And about IP vs. IPsec: I'm afraid my metaphor isn't fully OSI-compliant. Sorry. :)
