Blogroll philosophy:

I only add sites that I've been visiting for a while.

I will not add any new sites that have pop-ups.  One or two are grandfathered.

"Comrades" are bloggers who've I've met, or who have simply written me back.  These are great people and I am honored to know them.  I encourage you to find bloggers that you identify with, and to support them with comments.  Hopefully you'll make some new friends as I have.

I added the "Commercial" category.  These are sites with edited content.  The writers are great, but the sites' desire to make money with ads suggest their message is polished.  I prefer my content raw.

It is correct to assume that I agree with most of what is posted at these sites.
