Enough already?
I can't really claim that I feel the need for all-inclusiveness, though
Engels' remark to Marx seems pertinent here.
The fact that columns are written
monthly, rather than when I feel like it, or even when I feel that a particular
column is complete enough to be posted, creates the need for new and "different" topics. I doubt that I could get away with writing the same column over and over again, though perhaps, from a vantage point of the entirety of the Boidem, that's actually what I do.
I seem to have some sort of unwritten agreement
between myself and this framework that states that I don't intend to return
particularly soon to a topic that I've recently examined - after all, how much is there to say about a topic?
But more often than not, the answer to that question is a resounding "much, much more".
Often, merely days after posting a column I'll find new material that I disappointedly
acknowledge should have been dealt with. Sometimes this material is "new"
in the sense that it's just been posted, but more frequently it's new in the
sense that I hadn't stumbled upon it before. Since much of what gets written here is more an attempt to convince myself than any of my eight readers, I don't have to feel guilty for having left out something that perhaps may have been important. To a certain extent, however, I'm continually rewriting my take on an issue for myself.

Go to: and that, and that, oh, and that ...
