The kicker for me is that when I read Phil's blog I typically will want to reply/contribute to the various postings, for the most part in support of what he's written and to provide additional related evidence.

Since I'm no longer allowed to do that, I don't read Phil's blog that much, to wit, hardly ever.

Damn shame, he's a good writer and his writing is expressive of a perceptive mind.

But by comparison, my "contributions" would be so much chaff, therefore there's no great loss.
