To my readers:

As you know, my posts are largely in response to John Batchelor's comments on his blog. These then appear here oftentimes in expanded and edited form. I have since branched out and posted opinion independent of John's blog. My latest, "Samskara", is an example. This is not to say that I won't use it later on the John Batchelor Show site. Nevertheless, it wouldn't hurt for John's readers to check this blog as well. You'll never know what you might find.
