Our reach grows: I am pleased to see that we have caught the attention of more people, if the growing number of comments recently is any indication.
Let me plead with those of you who are new (and hopefully now regular) readers here at Optimates: keep your comments coming. We would all be delighted if each post spawned a dozen comments and new fodder for discussion. That's the whole idea.
Newbies, if you like what you see, tell your friends. Tell their friends. Tell their friends' friends.
