Instead, I thought I'd leave explanation as to why I haven't published them in a note to the commenters. -- Nate <hr /> Dear Paige and Larissa, Thanks for your comments. The reason I haven't published them here, however, is because your comments seem off-topic. Your accusations were, I thought, completely off-base. I can't see anything in this post that would give you the idea that I encourage whaling. However, for the record, let me state here and now that I do not support or engage in whaling in any way, shape, or form. The fact is, whaling is a topic of historical interest. In the case of this post, I was researching about whaling online because a friend of mine had to do a project based on <i>Moby Dick</i>. For those who haven't read <i>Moby Dick</i>, it centers around the crazed captain of a whaling vessel. Because whaling figures so significantly in the novel, it would be impossible to research the book without finding out a few things about whaling as well. In fact, I would say that a rudimentary understanding of whaling is critical to appreciating the novel. So thanks again for your comments. I appreciate your fervor and dedication to the cause of whales everywhere. Just a piece of advice, though. Next time, make sure you're aiming at the right target. Sincerely, Nate Note: I’ve been getting some comments on this page that I have chosen not to publish.

Dear Paige and Larissa,

Thanks for your comments. The reason I haven’t published them here, however, is because your comments seem off-topic. Your accusations were, I thought, completely off-base. I can’t see anything in this post that would give you the idea that I encourage whaling. However, for the record, let me state here and now that I do not support or engage in whaling in any way, shape, or form.
