The Last Ditch by Tom Paine

THE LAST DITCH

Back in the charts

I don't go in much for statporn here. Goodness knows it would be unstimulating stuff compared to the big boys at the top of the blog charts. I dropped out of the ebuzzing blog charts during my American trip because – presumably – my happy burblings didn't trigger comments, links, tweets and all the other things their algorithms measure.

Screen Shot 2013-09-06 at 09.34.54Having resumed my normal more dour service however, The Last Ditch has stormed thirty places or so up the charts to the top of the bottom third of the top hundred.

My ego is not much engaged in that, but it's always good to know that my efforts here are read and appreciated.

Thank you to all who commented, linked and tweeted to such effect.

    And how fitting that you should be locked in titanic struggle with a Trotskyite!

    I try to keep up to date with your blog posts, even though I do not regularly comment. I will try to do so in future now I know that it is statistically significant. If comments confirm for you that your emissions are appreciated then I will go out of my way to comment.
    I massively enjoyed your blogs from USA. When I get time I intend to re-read the lot in one sitting. Keep it up, please. ATASTTB.
