Thought

It has occurred to me on a few occasions that people think that because I post a link to something that I endorse it in some way.

I once lent a book to a friend (something by Robert Anton Wilson, I seem to recall) and apparently they came away thinking that I actually believed all of the theories in it.  As even the author stated that _they_ didn't believe all the theories in it, it would seem very odd if I did.

I read a lot of things, and I take from them what I find interesting or useful and ignore or discard that which I already know or disagree with.  If something has a particularly interesting idea in it then I'm likely to link to it, even if the other 90% of it is rubbish. 

I trust you lot to be able to read critically.  By all means tell me if you see something that I might not have noticed, or add commentary - I love getting comments on the links.  But please don't assume that I wholeheartedly endorse them.
