I must apologise for moderation being slow yesterday.
I will do the same in advance for today, and maybe Monday.
It is the time of year when academic life fires back into life and there are a lot of matters to attend to in my day job.
I also seem to be taking on a pile of new work on new research projects, as if I had not already got enough to do.
I will moderate comments as soon as I can, but if they sometimes have to wait for hours, that's because I am busy elsewhere, and I think that providing a moderated space much better than the alternative.
Thanks for reading this post.

Accepted.
My son starts at the University of Sheffield soon as an undergraduate. Exciting times for him and things to sort out.
Good luck to him.
What is he studying?
International Relations – he will be learning Chinese – he’s very interested in SE Asian culture.
Good stuff..
Good course
If your son starts learning Chinese then he will have something to do for the rest of his life.
What you do is brilliant Richard, a gift (in my view) and as such hardly merits an apology on your part.
Great stuff, PSR. I wish your son well. An interesting field he wants to study.
Richard, no apology is needed. But it was kind of you to think about it.
Slow moderation is totally understandable. What is becoming less so is your continued use of Twitter or rather X. Musk is clearly a deranged individual who is now becoming as lethal to the world as Rupert Murdoch., possibly even more.
It really is time to stop – just tell your twitter followers where else they can read your stuff. Please.
Sorry – but that is like saying I should stop talking to all news media.
And this blog is ultimately hosted by Amazon, I think (most are…there is nothing odd about this – they own the biggest file servers in the world)
So, where do you draw the line?
Twitter is not Musk. He provides a space where I can still say useful things that gets to a lot more people than I do here. Why should I give that up any more than I would give up television even when I do not like a lot that many channels put out?
I don’t like reading twitter either, but there are times when you have to.
Haven’t found this from Led by Donkeys anywhere else.
