Ron's trying to give his decision a modern spin, but I'm kind of thinking this is quite an old-fashioned idea of what poets do. Not necessarily wrong though. Lots of writers see a necessity of banning themselves from the airwaves. You can understand that RS has got sick of not concentrating on Universe. He never tried to combine his blog with his art - that could have been an alternative. He did demonstrate the popularity of a blog with focus (search-engine-friendly content-richness). But I also think focus is what kills a blog, eventually. The blogs that stay freshest longest are flexible enough to change when their authors do. The inspiration for Ron's blog was his nephew Dan's - and that's as fresh as it ever was, doesn't have any agenda and keeps moving.Michael Peveretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17090710369630916194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11295909.post-67048534095663965712011-04-05T10:08:05.130-04:002011-04-05T10:08:05.130-04:00Blogging has many drawbacks, but Twitter and Faceb...Blogging has many drawbacks, but Twitter and Facebook aren't even in the running for intelligent communication. Stick with blogging, or "live a life" as they say.Curtis Favillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06213075853354387634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11295909.post-18941240990921731432011-04-03T15:43:17.505-04:002011-04-03T15:43:17.505-04:00Well, my mindless adherence to the principle of au...Well, my mindless adherence to the principle of autonomy leads me to contradictory opinions on this. On the one hand, I want to say "do whatever you want." On the other hand, I want to say "don't let some administrative albatross you've hung around your neck prevent you from saying what you want to say."<br /><br />As for giving away the lecture notes -- I'm always doing that. But mostly the students really don't care about our blogs. And those that do read them -- hey, great, cool. Someone comes in already knowing stuff. That's good, right?<br /><br />My guess is this will all start to look different about 15 minutes after the semester ends. I mean, the end of the spring semester has everybody feeling like Seamus Heaney backed over them in his potato truck.<br /><br />BobArchambeauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17273511539172747550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11295909.post-6230708601412754732011-03-30T18:29:11.269-04:002011-03-30T18:29:11.269-04:00good move. might as well protect your retirement

I...I'd miss you too, but the decision is yours. I was in a group blog for a while, which gradually ran down until we formally closed it. It was a good decision, even though I'm sure each of us will be going on to write more in other fora. And in particular, the decision to close doesn't seem to me, in retrospect, to invalidate any of what we wrote -- I'm pleased with what I did, and content to do no more for now.Vance Maverickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07477306994564623348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11295909.post-14468943578076879952011-03-29T16:27:04.305-04:002011-03-29T16:27:04.305-04:00Oh, don't leave us permanently!
