My approach to this blogging site is to learn how it works while using it. To that end, I do not expect many comments in these early weeks. Most of the potential comments will be from persons that have been sent by me anyway. They may comment about their own anxiety or ignorance. I hope I made it clear to them that this is an experimental place; anyone can contribute.
This is another comment, the first one made by a “stranger” beyond the automatic stuff that was loaded to start.
Attention Students: Notice the comment from Cristy above. It does not relate to job hunting at all. A guy named Erik got married, so somehow a comment to a different Erik’s comment was sent here by a bot, an automatic process that pesters bloggers. A Bot is a device or piece of software that can execute commands, reply to messages, or perform routine tasks, as online searches, either automatically or with minimal human intervention (often used in combination): intelligent infobots; shopping bots that help consumers find the best prices.
