About this blog

This is my personal blog which I began in February 2001. I called it The Obvious? when I wrote anonymously and chose the name to reflect the fact I have to overcome my inhibitions about stating the obvious!

I am afraid the levels of spam comments have become sufficiently high (yes you know who you are) for me to have to turn on moderation. I try to process comments as fast as I can but I know it is frustrating so - sorry!
