David Wyman

As substack has gradually acquired more slop, there has been an informal move for some readers to trust only those using their real names. I think there are places where people should be allowed to be anonymous, and have found the handles people have taken for themselves informative and humorous about them, and human nature in general. Yet I don't mind different platforms having different rules, and prefer social influencing to mandates.  I see their point. A lot of the newer sites coming on board are just copying AI information and trying to get people to follow their links so that they can get advertising money.  So I will remain Assistant Village Idiot in most places, but am signing as David Wyman on substack comments.  David Foster's substack is already well-prepared.
