A Request to all readers.

When you post a comment without properly signing in*, you will not see your comment on the blog until I, as moderator, have seen and approved it. It arrives in my mailbox, and if I am out, will stay there until I return. I am sorry, but that is the way it works. The other dissatisfactory thing about it is that your contribution is not flagged on the site, so readers may see it only by chance, when they visit that item.

*The only way for you to be able to post poetry or other contributions and comments independently and instantaneously is by signing in to blogger, that is, responding directly to the contributors invitation email sent by cryptic42, and if you do not have a googlemail address creating one for yourself. Then you may create a blogger account. You are not obliged to create a blog, just an account. You can use your own name or an alias, as in cryptic42. (I imagine most of you have broken that little cypher by now!)

I urge you to take that step, so we can see that you are here in person (or whatever persona you choose), and appreciate your presence. And of course, enjoy reading your work. Thank you.
