I get as much out of this site as the 5-10,000 or so people who swing by each day do. The feedback, the links, the suggestions and ideas are all tremendous.
That’s partly of the reason why I don’t sell advertising (I don’t care for the visual clutter), nor make a big deal about the wish list nearby (or the read to me / sing to me variations).
But every now and then, a reader wants to say thanks and selects something off the wish list. To my Australian friend who did so with The Elegant Universe, I say thanks (I loved the PBS series).
Its now in the queue.
I can’t tell you how much I enjoy your blog. At age 60 I became interested in things economic and am learning as much as I can. There are so many good blogs out there and I can’t believe the quality of the content. But you are in my top list, must visit, every day. I particularly appreciate the fact that you are non-political. Yes, I do start at progressive (and very political) blogs every day. But on things economic I want the straight stuff. Thanks again.
Yo bud, I know I haven’t written in a while, but I really enjoy your site as well. keep it up! before you know it, those 5-10K will be 25-30K.

I don’t think people mind seeing things like google-ads on a blogger’s website. You could slap them down at the bottom, out of the way. I get used to them, and actually find myself clicking on them more often than other content people have on their sites.
