2K and Counting

OUR computer says this is the 1,999th posting on ONTOS, but our Blogger editor says it's Number 2,000. Who are we to argue with Blogger? We started this weblog back in September 2013 and haven't regretted it yet. (Some of you Dear Readers out there might disagree.) 

  At any rate, we try for quality over quantity. None of this: "You gotta read it, man! It's way cool."  We always let YOU decide whether it's worth the trip or not, which is why we very rarely let you know our opinion. (The piece under scrutiny might be terrible; if it is, just remember that there's some value even in a bad example.) 

  We don't take advertising (and any self-serving plugs in Comments are always firmly deleted as soon as they're detected). If we happen to link to some pay site, it's only because we couldn't find the story or book anywhere else on the World Wide Blabbie. (We get paid for none of this, not even kickbacks from the big distributors; it's all out of pocket—our pocket—so while we appreciate any offers of assistance, we must gratefully decline.)
