My posting has been sporadic & will probably continue to be so for a short while. I regret this as this blog has helped me feel like I've been doing something (albeit a very little something) good for the cause. So I offer my apologies to those who stop by regularly & are dissappointed at the lack of recent posts.

It was a year ago today that this blog started. Not the most impressive first posts on the net, but hey- we all gotta start someplace. I would prefer you remember some other posts from the first few weeks & I'll list them at the bottom of this post.

I had envisioned this as a group blog, not a solo project. & in fact I have two co-bloggers. One is a friend from the G&A 2nd Amendment Forum named Mark, the other is a very talented writer named Nicki. Mark has only been able to post once (due to a very busy life) but he was the one who turned me on to blogs & told me where to look to set this one up. Hopefully he'll get hold of more free time & when he does you'll be treated to a very insightful perspective concerning all things gun. Nicki has written for the NRA & Armed Females of America. She's another one with a busy life but her posts have been insightful & a much welcome addition.

I would also be remiss in not mentioning Jeff, Rachel, Kevin, Jen, Matt, Uncle & Miss Annika (to name a few) who helped promote this blog & who may have actually stopped by to read it once or twice.

& special thanks to Jen for being the first commentor & Gunner for being the most frequent.

So thanks to all of you who have stopped by &/or commented &/or linked to Publicola in the last year. It's been a slow start to 2004 but posting will pick up. Although I sincerely hope that within the year there won't be a need for blogs such as ours & we can revert back to talking about more pleasant issues. (hey- it's possible. Unlikely as hell, but possible.)
