comments
As it turns out I comment on a lot of other blogs, websites and online news articles as well as writing too many of my own. Quite often I want to refer back to the articles for one reason or another, so it occurred to me that the easiest way to keep track would be to make a comments page where I can list the links. If you read my blog, you might be interested in some of these articles that interest me.
FYI, the latest links will always be up top.

Although this is not a criminal offense in the UK, Industry pressure resulted in statute stretching to achieve the original sentence. Very powerful article.
