Hey, Amanda.. it looks like you are excerpting your writing for hits:

Have you any thoughts on that?
Well I can’t deny that I appreciate extra site hits, but I like that the Free Republic crowd offers such a variety of feedback. I’ve never been good at participating in message boards myself (I take too long to respond most of the time), but I like to see what others think. It helps me figure out where I am failing to articulate points properly or when I have overlooked something.
