Res Publica et Cetera to go on indefinite hiatus

Well, it's been two weeks since I last posted so it's about time I made it official: this blog will be on hiatus indefinitely. Why? Mainly real life stuff combined with my no longer finding blogging and participation in combox free-for-alls on other blogs as much fun as I used to. The blog, of course, will stay up, as will the Haloscan comments, though I have switched the comments over to moderation so new ones won't show up unless I approve them (I probably won't be checking too regularly). To all my regular readers: thank you. It's been fun. But now I feel its time for me to close up shop, at least for the near future, and move on to other things.
