Disclaimer – – This Web site is not affiliated with or funded by any commercial organization other than Bloom & Wallace and any named sponsors.  This site is intended to be an educational Web site, providing useful and possibly entertaining material, except where explicitly stated to be otherwise.  Any thoughts, opinions, and/or statements expressed here are those solely of the author and named contributors, and they are not the thoughts, opinions, and/or statements of any other individual or commercial entity other than Bloom & Wallace, except where explicitly stated to be otherwise.  This Web site is not for the purpose of trade or to induce the sale of any goods or services except as may be so stated in conjunction with a specific post or named sponsor.

Privacy – – Our privacy policy is simple: No spam, period.  We will not rent or sell your personal information to anyone, not even to our affiliates (if we ever have any), to include any named sponsors.  In this context, personal information is that information which identifies you as an individual and which is not otherwise publicly available.  If you choose to register for e-mail updates, your registration information will be used solely for that purpose. If you choose to comment, and we hope you will, you’ll be identified as you choose to identify yourself.

Independence – – We have worked for and/or with, not to mention interacted with, many to most of our industry’s leaders, and we freely admit to having our ideas and point of view influenced by all the knowledge and experiences thus gained.  We hope the reverse is also true.  Great ideas “come from the table” and are not easily attributed to the individual participants.  Absorb and use the information presented on this Web site at your own discretion.  There are no guarantees, explicit or implied, about the completeness, correctness or appropriateness of the information presented here for your intended purpose other than what you may determine based on your own evaluation of the writer and the medium’s integrity.

Except for properly attributed quotations and links, which we hope you’ll use, you may not reproduce posts or other content in part or in whole, in any format, without express written permission.  In other words, the content on this blog is NOT covered by the Creative Common License (aka CCL) unless explicitly stated to be so covered.

Comments – – We hope you will share your thoughts by commenting on our posts. Your comments will be moderated to eliminate spam and ensure that obviously inappropriate (e.g. libelous, slanderous, hateful, etc.) comments are not posted, but your riffs and rants on relevant topics are very welcome.
