Dear Visitors

First and foremost, thank you for visiting my blog. For all those who don't know, this is not really a blog (read dec '04, last post for details). Therefore, to all those who come here, I hope you enjoy my stories. I would like to extend my appreciation especially to those who take the time to comment on the writings through their own experience.

However, I have noticed recently that my tagboard always seems to be flooded. Allow me therefore, to set a few guidelines so that firstly, my blog looks neater, and secondly, you can have an easier time giving feedback and I, an easier time reading what you have to say.

1. For long comments, please use the comment tab below each post.
2. Do not flood the tagboard. Other people have the right to say what they want, and might want to do so in brief.
3. Be considerate. I only answer honest, constructive and carefully thought through comments.
4. Watch your language. Swearing generally is not a good form of communication, neither are insults. If you want to get your point across, control your word choice.
5. Stay on topic. This blog is for stories, and the same should go for comments here. If you want to talk to me about something else, use the "discussion blog" link.

For the record, I am a christian, but I have no qualms about any type of person reading my works and giving comments. Whether you are a buddhist, hindu, atheist, muslim, satanist, whatever. As long as you give coherent, intellectually sound comments, i am more than happy to hold a conversation.

Also, most forms of intellectual discussions are welcome at my discussion blog www.talktosam.blogspot.com . I have no problems with off topic (nothing to do with my stories) discussions. All you need to do is to go there and follow the instructions.

Finally, this blog and all the stories here were created for my own amusement. If you happen to like them as well, fine and dandy. If you want to suggest improvements, feel free. If you hate them and just wanna let it all out, go find a pond and some rocks. Come back only when you are ready to say something that will enlighten us all.

That's about it. Thanks again for visiting.
