Probably referred by search engines. Most likely they didn’t even bother to read the post date, they just reacted…

Can you block the page/turn off the comments facility for that page?

It’s a bit strange that they are so set off by Ben’s remarks. I have the same opinion about the song, but I never thought that Ben’s entry would provoke such wanton criticism.

On a slightly different tangent - you two post quite a bit of info about yourselves online. Do you ever feel unsafe doing so, considering there are so many “lunatics” out there??

Have you guys taken a thorough look at your inbound/outbound referrals?

I reckon it was either that, or you were referred on a BBS or something.

When you used to do a search on Google for GC, Ben’s post used to come up third. He put something in his code so that whenever Google refers him, the page tells Google that it’s not there but, so far, that hasn’t stopped people from coming. He did the same thing to this post and they’re still coming back!!!

Elsie, we try to be wise in what we post but I know that sometimes I operate on the principle of, “Who would care? What difference would it make to them?” If it’s too personal, I usually don’t put it up.
