January Comments Now? Why?

Somebody decided on April 27 to make comments on three Plaintalker posts from January.

Having just enjoyed reading another book in the series on the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, I began mentally sleuthing why a person found it imperative to make those comments now. After all, if published, they will be at the bottom of posts from three months ago, where nobody is likely to look.

Hmmm. The common thread is political representation in the Fourth Ward, so maybe the goal is to get something on the record on this blog and then maybe use the comments later on as quotes. For example, three months after the fact, the poster vaunts reasons why Vera Greaves should be appointed. Helloo! She was appointed in January and has been serving ever since!

Some parts of the comments just don't make sense, but of course that has never stopped anybody interested in tossing around rhetoric at campaign time.

I will hit the "Publish" button for these quotes now, but my advice to the poster is to find a less oblique way to talk about governance in the Fourth Ward. And don't forget, the seat is for the First & Fourth Wards at-large seat, so voters in the First Ward will also have to be convinced of a candidate's worthiness to get elected. We're just sayin.'
