A lot of your links from other blogsites might not be updated quickly and a lot of your readers may only tune in on weekends or every so often. Before shutting this one down completely, you might want to cross reference links for a while as a reminder to those who enjoy reading you, so they don't come up to a blank page without enough forewarning and think you have gone off line. Sorry for sounding intrusive, but just saying, some might not get the message in time.

I'm not going to shut it down. I intend to leave the above as a last post, so that people know where to go.

Leg-iron had a Livejournak blog for a long time, and then moved to Blogspot, but kept his old Livejournal blog in being.

I may also copy the entire blog to Wordpress, so as to keep it all together.

No need to shut it down. You can feed directly from your WP site into LJ. I do it all the time (every post).

I'm self-hosted at http://slamlander.caselle-vpn.net

Also, I use LiveWriter to post to my WP blog. Formatting get very good that way. You are in trhe UK and I'm in Switzerland. If you want help send email to slamlander at caselle-vpn dot net. I'll be very happy to help you with plugin selection and whatnot.

Thanks. I'll bear it in mind.

You didn't think you'd get out of Livejournal without some sappy, nostalgic comment from a regular reader did you?

I got to thinking about how I discovered your blog and Leg Iron's and all of the ten or so UK blogs I now read on a must-do and daily basis. All of them gleaned from your blogrolls. It was through Livejournal.

Every now and then I try to reconstruct how I first stumbled onto Leggy's blog, which in turn led to your blog, both of which were originally Livejournal blogs. As best as I can recall, I think I was trying out a Livejournal search, with all of its frustrating flaws, and somehow ended up at Leg-iron's musings on how the Righteous incrementally foist a nanny state upon us all. I recall it concerned how the smoking-only carriages on trains gradually went from the whole train to one, to none. I was spellbound by his writing ability. I hit the now familiar Livejournal 'previous' button and kept reading and reading and reading.

Man, this guy is good, said I to myself. He's writing about the stuff I write about, but about ten times better than I do. At this point in time I was an Americacentric guy unaware that the Nanny State was such a worldwide phenomenon. I left a comment on his page after wikipedia-ing LibDems and coming away with the impression that they were anti-Nanny State. To which you replied:

14th Oct, 2009
95% of Lib Dem MPs voted for the UK complete smoking ban. Nothing libertarian about that. Nothing liberal about it either.

The Liberal Democrat party is actually a fusion of two parties - the old Liberal party, and the Social Democratic Party which was formed about 30 years ago -. In the fusion process, it would appear that the Liberal bit got lost.

I clicked on your Livejournal icon and got whisked away to your blog and similarly thought; man, this guy is good. 517 days later here we are.

I originally discovered Livejournal through this community Pro_Smokers -
the community for those who smoke and LIKE IT

You guys made a dedicated anglophile out of me. We're all in this together. OK, enough buttery 'those were the days' ramblings from me.

Funnily enough, I started this blog by accident when I got into a bit of an argument with Leg iron (I can't remember what it was about now) back in the days when he was on Livejournal. I read him every day, but I don't agree with him about everything. More like almost everything.

And I used to be a big reader of US blogs about 5 years ago, when there weren't many UK blogs. Because US politics used to seem much more interesting than UK politics. Now I've lost interest in the USA, although I still read a few US blogs now and then. I guess that with the smoking ban, everything changed.

Frank

Although I haven't entirely lost interest in American politics, I find your politics fascinating, often more so than ours. All the intrigue and machination and bluntly honest debate is thought-provoking.

Our pro-smoking blogs (the few that exist) seem tepid in comparison. Dime-a-dozen arguments and insults consisting of the same 50 or so words are constantly hurled and recycled. There's one thing for certain, you guys write circles around us.

Are there any good USA smoking blogs you do read? I know of only a handful of them.

As it is curious.. :)

big thanks to the author for new)
