Asymmetrical Information

Dude, stability is for graveyards and the Canadian banking system. Turnover is the norm in any dynamic environment. Since almost nobody is paid to blog, it's great that intelligent people are willing to check in and make contributions. It's a shame that many of them eventually flame out, but the probable alternative isn't steady long-term blogging, it's either no blogging (most of us) or, for a lucky few, paid hackery that degenerates into writing on deadline whether you have anything to say or not.

Anyway, I still read your blog, and I don't see why you or anyone else has to frame the existential blogging question in all-or-none terms. To paraphrase Mark Twain, I've quit blogging dozens of times. Take a break if you feel like it, but don't hesitate to jump back in when new ideas well up, as they will. You're not being paid to do this, so why follow a schedule? But maybe this is sort of what you were saying, in which case, never mind. (Good point about the bookmarks, though.)

Ah, the circle of life.

Dear Dr. Drek:
I like your site. I've visited it often for ten months. You are an unusually intelligent and perceptive observer. Economic literacy is rare even in the bloggerverse. I hope you won't quit. But maybe you need to take a break, shift the focus of your writing, or reformat your site in a manner that makes you feel fresh again. Whatever you choose, I wish you well.

I always have the suspicion that, when war breaks out, things will rapidly raise your dander.

And when the war w/ Iraq is over, good economists' opinions will be as useful as good military advice was during the war.

I thought dander was the part of the cat I am allergic to.

Regardless, should I send you some dander Viagra? I hope you get re-interested in writing, soon.
