This has occurred before, if I\u2019m not mistaken, and I suspect that if John Loftus<\/a> gets too close to the number one slot, Jim may make a comeback to try and prevent that. In the mean time, others<\/a> will seek to do the same\u2026<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I do hope that, whether or not Jim decides to make a return to blogging, he won\u2019t just eliminate all the content he has shared over the years.
