Comments
hello Amanda, this is Dorinda’s activist-pal, Rob, I’d enjoyed checking out ur blog/site after I’d responded to dorinda’s recent email-discussion that you also responded to re: the problems that you, Todd & Dorinda were communicating to the activist-groups due to system/connectivity & ISP difficulties..
I don’t know many of the folks on the various lists that Dorinda interacts with {I’m busy w/ graduate-school here in Rochester nowadays..rarely get time to interact w/ political-activist networks & conversations};
So–i’d enjoyed reading some of the VelociRaptor blog tonite but I’ve encountered a bug–I posted a comment to this thread: >>http://velociraptor.info/notes/?p=624&cpage=1#comments<<
Yet most of my text/comment turned into vapor–I’m wondering if perhaps the comments are ‘abbreviated’ to allow for moderator-checkup as part of policy toward new-posters/people?…
well, let me know. oh– what’s odd is that my 1st comment on that page actually shows the beginning & end of that post—as if it deleted the paragraphs in-between..thanx, Rob
