Writing on the website...
ron thomas
Writing here is a daily event for me. Trying to find things of interest for our community takes several hours a week but for me, most of the time it is more of a hobby than a chore. Still every so often we experience mind fog and the page just languishes there getting fewer and fewer visitors until something moves us to write again. We used to have contributing writers. Now it's just me.
Jacky, has half convinced me that of all the 110 part time readers and 40 hardcore viewers of the website that none of them like to write. We should be grateful if they like to read... And so we are. Commenting at the end of article is usually made use of by about 5 or 6 people. Still, when those comments become controversial or a bit pointed.... Readership soars. We suspect everyone keeps checking back to see how the abrasive comment will be taken. In its own way that is kind of the point to the comments to share different views of the subject.
I would like to point out that sometimes the comments are constructive and lead to a possible solution such as the one from Charles Burke on the post light addresses. Charles suggested we find out who doesn't have addresses. This we did and that led to us contacting the Assistant Fire chief Toby Cole.. Who will soon be writing his opinion in an article for our web page. Then steps are going to be initiated to put it in the pigeon hole mailboxs at the clubhouse. Charles made a pro-active suggestion that we could use and develop instead of doing nothing.
For that we would like to thank Charles Burke and ask others of you to follow his example and comment any way you want, anytime you want, using the Golden Rule as your guideline. Of course, comments of a helpful nature or pro-active will be more likely to bear fruit than those of an acidic nature but that's up to you.
