It's not a balance. Despite linking Ms. Jones, I don't care what she thinks either.

As editor of this eclectic site, I am sent interesting links from contributors, readers, friends and family, etc. daily. Not to mention links we all appropriate from other sites without deserved acknowledgment.

As a Dog Days experiment, I'd like to ask our folks to directly post their links onto the website whenever they feel like it.

Run the links through Notepad first though, or the font will be screwy.  Sort-of the way Instapundit's contributors do.

It will lighten my load, and, remember, besides the $300 k I get annually from Dunkin (just kidding), this is not a paid job and my life is busy with fun, and with some difficult challenges, always. And yeah, I am not retired and never want to be. (Mrs. BD complains that I can not learn to relax. I hope I never will, although I do read at night in bed.)

In July and August, we tend to run a fair number of re-posts. Our contributors are welcome to repost past stuff that would be interesting.  Especially on weekends.
