This week I’m operating on someone else’s computer using a dial-up connection. Having grown used to my own screen setup and high-speed connection, it is a bit frustrating to wait and wait.
Another issue, though, is that the cookies have somehow excluded me from responding to comments. The web site considers me to be logged in at all times, even though I’m not. And when I try to post comments on my own site, I’m told to not be so stupid and just continue reading rather than trying to write.
Anyway, I just wanted to let all my commenters know that I haven’t put you on “IGNORE”.
Yes, I considered common differences between siblings before writing, but the contrast was so striking I had to comment.
I’ve watched Dorf. His game is better than mine was yesterday.
Bubba, from reading your comments I think you’ll do just fine.
Okay, just a few responses. Maybe I’ll figure out what the issue is with the cookies. Nah. Too many other things to do right now!
As someone who lives on dial-up 90% of the time, my sympathies are limited. The cookie problem, I’ll concede. But the connection speed sounds like normality to me. (Of course, thanks to my GPRS card, I now get that speed without a wire. Think of it: you could live0blog your golf game!)

I’ve been spoiled. Of course, not having my own computer here makes things worse simply because I’m using IE rather than Firefox, and all my administrative things are unavailable.
