Hil,

As a blog owner here on CL, you have considerable control over your blog. I see that you have locked this blog entry. That is one of the tools available for blog owners to use to manage their blog. Admins can override such locks, as I am doing here, but it is very rare that I do so. Other tools include deleting content, which you have also discovered.

Speaking now specifically as an administrator of this website, you get to set the rules for your blog. Your desire not to turn your posting into marketing or a critique is reasonable, but even if it were not reasonable, you have that right and the tools to manage your blog. All CL users should respect your choices. The admins only step in when rules or guidelines are being violated, and you have never even gotten close to violating any of CL's rules or guidelines.

I am a bit concerned that my clarification of your reference to a website may have caused the diversion into critiquing and marketing. That was not my intention. I had an uneasy feeling after reading your original blog posting because you made reference to more information about that project but then did not elaborate; that is what caused my inquiry. Please know that I was not trying to hijack your posting and turn it into a marketing tool for the developers.

I have two purposes for posting this reply. One is to highlight ('advertise' might be a better word) the fact that blog owners have considerable control (much more so than postings in the forums channel) over their blog. And secondly to highlight that many people read and appreciate the information that you post in your blog entries.

Thank you for re-posting your information about your visit to Isla Boca Brava. And thank you for being a contributing CL member.
