Sherlock Holmes Blogs, etc.

I am really not a geek, but I am a big-time fan of Doyle's Sherlock Holmes canon.

I just now spent a bit of time searching the web for interesting blog's concerning Holmes and, more specifically, Holmes trivia and discussion.

Conclusion - there are some really, really good trys, in ernest. Unfortunately, they suffer from some strange blog disease about 'commenter'.

Many of the personal blogs - which this has not yet become - suffer from a surfeit of comments inviting you to a naked webcam site. That seems to be a given. It is SPAM, but ... what else is new.

Other blogs, like Sherlock Holmes blogs, seem to suffer from 'geek spam' ... buy iPhone .... ! Well, at least it's not webcams.

I have observed that crossword puzzle blogs - I love crossword puzzles, and will include some favorite blogs eventually - do not have this problem at all. One of two possible reasons. The blogger moderates and edits out the undesirables, or some people are just not attracted to something so arcane as solving a crossword puzzle.

Still working on it.

In the meantime, comments welcome. This will get better over time.
