Personal

Dear neglected readers, I have some rather turbulent months behind me, especially up until a French language exam I had to take recently - hence the silence. And I probably won't be back to once a week frequency until the beginning of next year.

However, on the progressive community blog European Tribune (where you'll find some toned-down-for-a-wider-audience versions of what I posted here), I have been made a frontpager - as that goes with some obligations, I haven't fallen silent there; you can separately read my 'diary' posts and frontpage stories (for example I wrote the October Revolution anniversary entry). All my readers would be welcome there (in particular I would be happy to see more, and better arguing, hard left voices there).
