Not much blogging for the next week or so while some other matters are attended to. There are some very interesting comments threads below that I would like to jump into, especially on the preface paradox, but in practice probably won’t over the next week. Maybe when I return.

Yesterday the blog got spammed by some company offering new blogging software. Naturally, they got added to the spam block list. I think the effect of this is that anyone using their blogs will also be on the ‘do-not-accept-links-from’ list, which is a bad-making feature of a blog software supplier. Dumb spammers.
