What Pluck!

Port Townsend, Today.

I don't get it.

Unbelievably, in this "Joy to the World" Holiday Season, I received complaints

• that many of my Blog articles are too long
• I should host a separate blog for "political satire," apparently reacting to my observations on Palin, considered inappropriate for my railroad blog.
  

Complaints like these in this season of "Ho! Ho! Ho!" are like "Bah-Humbug!"- firing a BOMARC missile at Santa Claus!

What pluck!

My response? Well, there is no rational explanation for an irrational criticism that a blog article is "too long."

As the Cheshire cat told Alice, "Start at the beginning, and when you get to the end, stop."

As to my "political satire," let's put a pencil to it:

In a little more than three years, I have written 501 articles. Twelve of which were personal observations, not "political satire."

That amounts to 2.39% of my writings.

Which means four-hundred and eighty-nine articles I have written, re-written and posted were rail related, reflecting literally hundreds and hundreds of man-hours doing the research, writing, re-writing, spell checking, re-writing, scanning and retouching photos, phone calls, re-writing and web hosting, required to insure I present free of charge, interesting, worth while, and accurate articles for your edification and enjoyment.

So to complain about 2.39% of my writing?

I don't get it!
