About 10? years. Trying to escape the daily corporate mind numb. A big delusion. Much of it I had written while having manic episodes, up all night and racing. Couple years ago I took it all down. It's horrendously messy and should be culled to bits. I had it up on angelfire. But I have copies of all of it.Adaline - Free Leonard Peltierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06878144941743894985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778400479144209105.post-16370160806137068152017-08-13T15:20:10.810-07:002017-08-13T15:20:10.810-07:00Not small or petty at all, C.Not small or petty at all, C.Adaline - Free Leonard Peltierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06878144941743894985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778400479144209105.post-53968974116235516322017-08-13T15:14:38.101-07:002017-08-13T15:14:38.101-07:00I totally get it, especially how you go back to yo...I totally get it, especially how you go back to your posts and keep adding artwork, links, etc. <br /><br />Also, the content on bibliotechapleyades that I have seen has always been impeccable writing, and they save, or archive it for posterity in case anything happens with the original web page.

Very often these sites who just take what they want will omit the links I add after the post, and any videos as well, which ain't cool.<br /><br />Certainly, this is more of a courtesy than a hard & fast rule.<br />The thing is that we writers kinda view our posts as original creative writing. Yes it's nice to be reprinted and reach people it might have otherwise missed; but still we like to know who is reprinting, and when such sites fail to link back to the original, it skews the traffic stats and number of hits a post gets. I know it may seem small & petty, but we writers don't see it that way.Chautauquahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07872005505920598396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778400479144209105.post-23309910570304305662017-08-13T12:54:38.099-07:002017-08-13T12:54:38.099-07:00Shit, sorry about that, I wasn't seeing it you...Shit, sorry about that, I wasn't seeing it your way.<br />Cause if anyone wanted to repost any of my blog posts I'd be pretty happy about it...Adaline - Free Leonard Peltierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06878144941743894985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778400479144209105.post-65422556519729836642017-08-12T20:29:03.184-07:002017-08-12T20:29:03.184-07:00Nope, didn't know that...however
