Was that a question?

One of the regulars (read the comments to see who!) said:

p6 created a forum which welcomes the intellectual discussion of racial issues. He created a body of prior work, and creates stimulating analysis on a daily basis. One doesn't have to be especially observant to see that it's a lot of work. I don't know what p6 hopes for as a goal, but I do hope he feels rewarded.

Feels rewarded? I don't think I'll live long enough to feel rewarded, which is not an "I've been to the mountaintop" thing. It's that by my understanding of things I expect to be rheumy and bedridden by the time what I'm doing now has any substantial impact.

What am I doing? Attempting to provide an object lesson or two. Hoping enough people see the utility of keeping reality in mind that it becomes at least a minor trend.

A lot of work? Other than comments I think I average one creative post a day. The stuff I link to is stuff I read anyway. Couple of folks send me links now and again, which is helpful. But the biggest energy saver is that I've been doing this long enough I have a body of prior learning, and more faith in myself than in you...whoever you are. So I don't waste a lot of energy on being tense anymore.

Some time back there were these people who wanted to join a comet. I guess they had faith. The same kind of faith one might have in an anonymous blog commenter.

I'm pleased to observe you rejected that option, and are still with us, p6.
