Thank you for your kind words and savvy suggestion. Unfortunately, I had some negative experiences with more spammers than English teachers or English language learners leaving “off topic” comments that distorted the goal. Besides, the blog remains an informative, educational hobby more and I don’t have the time, patience, or ambition to follow that suggestion. Sometimes we have to recognize our limits, do what we can with available resources (time, energy), and be grateful for our many blessings.
