I find myself, at the moment, posting quite a lot of (mostly forgettable) stuff on quora. I used to post a lot on faceboot before I got fed up with crass, abusive ethos. Now, I’ve no reason to think that any of these sites will vanish, but I thought that about other sites that eventually did.

I don’t want to suffer the same loss again. That’s why, as I post things elsewhere, I tend to copy the posts here. I will sometimes backfill this blog with old posts from elsewhere.

Not all my blog originates elsewhere, and most that I post elsewhere doesn’t appear here. This is not the place for photographs of last week’s lunch, as traditional as that might be. It is the place, though, for other kinds of posts, such as, for example, mentioning that, entirely by coincidence of course, I’ve beaten my personal best for distance drop–kicking of yorkshire terriers, my only sporting activity.
