This has obviously been a highly political week. And I have been blogging a lot ….not just on “Czar”.

As a consequence, views on this site have been the highest ever. Thru Facebook and Twitter, SDLP colleagues have posted links to this site. As I will be in Texas in February, some folks over there have bookmarked the site as part of their studies on Conflict Resolution.

I have warned them not to take everything……or indeed anything I say……too seriously.

It is actually interesting that a Blog runs the danger of compromising…….to facilitate a changing readership. As there is no financial reward in this site….then I am spared compromising for “commercial” reasons. But somehow it is a different dynamic when blogging for a larger number of people that I anticipated when I started out more than a year ago.
