I'm considering abandoning this project.  I've got a backlog of news items in need of posting, but have limited time.  I'm wondering if there is much utility to this blog.  I get a fair number of hits, but I don't know if anyone is actually subscribed or is using this as an information source.  Drop me a comment or a PM if you are and I will keep going.  If you'd rather it be slightly different, you can tell me that too. Otherwise this may be my last post for a good long while.
Thanks!
