I have not paid the big bucks to sitemaster, so I can only go back a hundred hits. But the trend is there, the marketing opportunity. So now I'm thinking, "I see a quality all-cotton product, and on the front it says: 'I went to the Michael Robertson blog to witness to him and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.' "

By the way, a friend asks why I don't just cut off comments down there at my first Taylor post, since that would probably put this little diversion to an end sooner rather than later. Well, if I understand the blogging ethic correctly, refusing to allow comment is the way of the coward. Many of my favorite political blogs -- I've read it at Daily Kos and Atrios, I'm pretty sure -- point out that most of the so-called lefty blogs believe you should encourage comment, and that it's the righty blogs who don't allow it because they are so irritated by disagreement. I don't know how true this is. I don't visit righty blogs all that often. But I agree with the principle. If you are going to put it out there on the net, then you should let people talk back. That's what gives the net its power: interactivity, which (one hopes) corrects misinformation and points out holes in information and flaws in logic.

The net is not just for speaking; it is also for listening.
