Doug Ramsey on Jazz and other matters...

Too Quick On The Draw

The Rifftides staff loves to get your comments. We do not love to get messages in the comments file that are solicitations for Viagra, deviant sex, investment opportunities and cheap electronic equipment. Bogus comments come in by the dozens, doing the sender no good; they are dispatched to never-never land. Today, as I was executing several of these unwelcome intruders, I inadvertenty checked a legitimate comment about the Buck O’Neil quote two items down the page. All I saw of it before I answered yes to the “Do You Want To Delete These Comments” query was the name Ted Williams, and–poof–it was gone.
If the sender will launch it again, I will control my itchy trigger finger and share the comment with all of you.
(LATER) The sender, John Salmon, did. The comment is now posted with the Buck O’Neil item.
Reader comments are always welcome. Let ’em fly.
