Blogwarts: the fantasy world of blogging in California

Do you remember when Welsh announced gleefully that he had started a Wikipedia page for his "Classical Coins" dealership ? It lasted all of three days I think. Really, really pathetic. Why he does not use his blog to write about the titular "ancient coins" beats me.

Yes, I seem to recall the Wikipedia episode. The border between ego and reality appears to be somewhat tenuous at times.

I wish to god he would stick to writing about coins. His frequent forays into pontificating about topics he clearly knows nothing about do far more damage to the image of antiquities collecting than the most extreme advocate of banning it altogether ever could.

P.S. I'm sure you'll be delighted to note that your comment made it through my stringent Comments Policy. I was going to announce it in an edict but my ability to write in suitably sententious prose is at an all-time low at present.

Indeed, upon perceiving that my missive had fallen within the circumscribed limits of propriety appropriate for a venue of such stature and met with your august approval, my delight was without bound.

Ah, I meant to warn you about a highly contagious virus which may be contracted by visiting certain websites. Doctors have found it to be prolix-sesquipedalian in nature and a particularly noxious form (popularly known as Temeculitis, after a town in California) can result in a severe case of coma-inducing fustian.

The only known cure is a heavy dose of PEC and a cold shower. Be on your guard ...
