We’re approaching Back Talk’s six-month anniversary, and one really interesting thing has happened. People have read it.

What do we know about high-tech and the cyber ether and so on and so forth? Nevertheless, it has proved to be quite successful, attracting readers from around here and elsewhere –Finland, Argentina, Britain, and even Italy. Plus, we’ve had state and local politicians and bureaucrats taking a peek.
