The reason

There have been times when I have come across a great read -- a poem, an article, a report, a blog, a story and felt compelled to share it with others...

I could have read it aloud but they might not like the sound of my voice
I could have made printouts and handed them out but my purse did not like the sound of that
I could have emailed them but then I might be jamming up somebody's in box

so this seemed to be the sanest way out...

You could read or not. You could comment or not. You could discuss or not. I may respond or not.
