So are you hinting that you would like for your readers to start leaving comments in the manner of Sir Archy?

Not that I've been giving readers a whole lot to comment on lately, k., but I believe being haunted by the ghost of an 18th Century gentleman could only improve this particular blog.

Would you settle for the ghost of a 19th century bar wench? It seems as though there are a finite number of 18th Century gentlemen that haunt the internets.

Hmm, I know a certain Captain over in the Keys whose parlance has an uncanny ressemblance to Sir Archy´s, I have to wonder...
