Followers of this blog quickly become aware of it's often chaotic nature. Projects are often started and not followed up on and continuing themes like Merge's weekend posts and my Yinz links come and go. There are three main reasons for this.
1) No blogger on this site gets any compensation beyond a very occasional free museum pass. You get what you pay for. At some point in the future we may be able to work in a few revenue generating ideas, but they are not likely to result in significant cash.
2) The blog has no editorial or "management" team. The blog flows with the whims, energy and interest of it's most active posters.
3) One of the leading posters is has ADHD and perhaps a number of other serious mental disorders. (and it's not Susan)
Anyway, the Yinz links series I did for a while may occasionally return in a random and evolved form broken up into categories like Yinz Arts Links; Yinz Economics; Yinz Weird News or something like that. It will not be on every few days.
Spell check doesn't recognise yinz as a word.
