Welcome to the latest version of The Crossbow

(If you have read this introduction before, then click here.)

This is my fourth version of The Crossbow — “stuff too dangerous to publish anywhere else”.

The original version disappeared from the Internet after I published a certain column.  Several months later, it reappeared; but, the format looked different and more difficult to read.  It wasn’t the only column to get hacked.

After reading some of those columns (other sites also have saved them, after realizing that the columns would likely become verboten), then you’ll understand why The Crossbow has earned its tagline!  (Look in the Sidebar at the section called “Banned / Hacked”.)

More than one thousand other pages link back to the TomKovach.US domain.

The front page of The Crossbow is designed so that all blog posts appear only as excerpts.  That is to help readers to quickly search for a recent column that they may have heard about, and to easily see other recent posts.

Comments are welcome, but I do moderate them for tone and propriety.  You don’t need to agree with me all the time, but you do need to be logical and civil.

Please be sure to sign up for a subscription.  (Use the “Subscribe2″ tool at the top of the sidebar.)  That way, you’ll be on ”the tip of the spear” (actually, a “bolt”) for new information from The Crossbow.  The e-mail address that you supply will only be used for that purpose.

Communication goes both ways.  Feel free to post comments.  All comments are moderated for civility.  If you want to send me an e-mail, go to my home page (links in top menu and in sidebar) and use the handy e-mail form at the bottom of that page.

Thank you for visiting.  Again, welcome to The Crossbow.
