The everlasting post

On Aug 2, I posted a wry (I thought) comment concerning Natalee Holloway's diappearance on Blogcritics. It has proved to be, like guilt, a gift that keeps on giving.

The responses, numbering 287 so far, have taken on a life of their own. Commenters occasionally mention NH, but in general they are preoccupied with other matters. They congratulate each other, insult each other, comment on other topics, tell their life stories, and in short have started up a self-perpetuating thread which has little or nothing to do with Natalee. (She's still missing.)
