Heya Jon,

OK, I tried it again…replying to the great tale about your son, Randy’s first buck.

If it doesn’t show up, I’ll drop you an email to see if we can figure out what’s happening.

Phillip, I have discussed this with my “technical department” and we don’t understand why you can’t leave a comment on my blog?

Keep trying, maybe your luck will change?

Welcome to the Hogblog, Indy! Sounds like you feel the same as I do about chain letters/email.

Othmar, I appreciate it. Looks like I’m in good company.

Yeah, anything that tells you to “pass it on to all your friends” in any sort of wording is a chain letter. But without that tacked on, actually finding and linking up to new people with shared interests is a very good idea, especially now with those greens bombarding everybody with half-baked messages about what and what not to wear, eat, do, own etc. And with about 99% of the population buying into their agendas to at least some degree.

Thanks, Rex.

I do look forward to getting the chance to sit down and hoist one (or two) with you and some of the other great folks I’ve chatted with over this medium.

And sooner or later, I’m gonna make it out to Mississippi too (I know I could just use MS, but it’s more fun to spell it out).

I’d hoped you’d take that “getting around” comment in the right spirt… glad you did.

It really is about building and supporting community, and while I’m generally a bit of an introvert, I’m glad to have a part to play too.

Phillip it is about community. I’m not one to pass on random memes either but, in this case it reinforced something that I think is really important, which is supporting each other.

As to my “getting around”, it is acceptable to say that when referring to the blogosphere. I do make the rounds quite regularly. I learn something new every day, and I love that. You’re exactly right, we’re linking up people and ideas and I think what we create will benefit everyone who loves the outdoors. How cool is that!
