Thanks for linking to that article, John. That was quite a ride. It seems a lot of people with AD/HD had discovered blogging at the same time my blog was picked as a Blog of Note over at Blogger.com. For months the comments filed in. Now things have settled down because they've either forgotten to visit again ;) or they are busy with their own blogs. I have to admit I'm relieved. Responding to all those comments was a major distraction in my life!
