Reasons for silence

I was sad to see that Auspicious Fish is no more because "it's run its course". It'll be sorely missed round these parts.

Speaking of which, I think there's going to have to be a marked scaling down of operations on SWSL over the next few weeks. It's unfortunate that it has to come in the wake of a really good Right To Reply feature when daily hits have gone through the roof and the site's welcomed lots of new visitors, but it can't be helped. Sometimes life just gets in the way.

That said, this isn't the end, and neither is it an indefinite hiatus of the sort of which bloggers and bands are fond. It's an enforced lull. There will still be posts appearing from time to time - I doubt very much whether I could stay away completely for long - so stick with it.

Thanks.
