And i totally understand why he doesn't keep old secrets... it's all about profits.<br /><br />Hence my main annoyance being the third point.<br /><br />I just wish he wouldn't use a blog to do it if he's not going to maintain back-dated posts or allow comments. Spring for a damn website - it's like $5 a month.Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04407805328773420219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3133654825791711562.post-9150629588230767452009-10-14T21:51:43.792-07:002009-10-14T21:51:43.792-07:00I'm going to disagree with you on the comments...I'm going to disagree with you on the comments piece...even though you, as an ORL-er, could sit down with friends or colleagues and have a great discussion about someone's post secret, the internet community is not so squeaky clean or intelligent. Comments would be fraught with judgement, racial, ethnic, and homophobic slurs, and would really cheapen the secret. I think, in the case of 'secrets,' it's best to listen, rather than respond.<br /><br />But you bring up excellent points regarding the maintenance of the postsecret site. It is free. What is he complaining about? He could mean that book sales pay for his continued promotion of the book, but that kind of goes in circles. <br /><br />If he allowed us to see old secrets, there wouldn't be a need for the books. He's done a good thing with these books, but he's also making a hefty sum. So it really comes down to profit.<br /><br />And I'm pissed that he didn't post this past Sunday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
