My frustrations with Yahoo! Geocities continues. I spent the better part of my day writing two columns. One was about Pedro Martinez' start with the Mets and the other was an "NBA 6-Pack" (my e-mail correspondence with Sports Illustrated's Ian Thomsen). The Pedro column came first. It took me close to two hours to complete. After proofreading it I clicked the save button. Little did I know that Alan Embree is more reliable in save situations than Geocities -- I lost the entire thing. After allowing the anger over this to go away, I checked my e-mail and saw that Ian had responded to my latest batch of questions. I typed the responses into a column, proofread my work and then clicked the save button. And just like Embree, Geocities blew another save. So if you are wondering why there hasn't been a new column in over a week, blame Yahoo! and Geocities. And if you are a fan of TheBostonInsider Daily, today is your lucky day because from now on I will be doing more blogging and fewer columns.
