Why are you using FR bandwidth, supported by individual donations from FReepers, to promote your own blog?
This is an interesting observation and question, which spurred me to look through Bresciani's "In Forum" page on this wonderful FR site. Here is the link used:

One observes that all the recent postings are indeed pointing to his blog only, as he seems not to participate in other FR threads. The last actual participation in another's thread seems to have been "3/25/2009, 10:51:53 PM,".
Additionally the hiatus between that participation in 2009 and the next most recent , 4/3/2023, 6:19:41 PM, seems to be 24 years of not participating. So your question is reasonable. Is promoting one's own work only the purpose of Free Republic?
Kudos, 4Runner. for asking a reasonable question.
Its about the message, no more.
