The Columnist Manifesto

Last May I wrote a post about visiting the former extermination camp at Auschwitz, in Poland. It was a difficult and moving experience for me, which I tried to reflect in the post. I had a small number of wonderful, reflective comments on that post.

I reread it the other day, and found a couple of spam emails, both of them quite priceless. I've deleted them from the post, but preserve them for posterity here.

The next one was even better:

Great post!

I did a search for gas station houston and found this site. I have put together an ebook I have titled, "Huge Gas Pump Savings."
