It is, of course, part of producing Multiverser that I also promote it.  It is to this end that Valdron Inc provides me with web space to host pages on a wide variety of topics, including Dungeons & Dragons™, Temporal Anomalies, and even Bible materials.  The hope remains that some, at least, attracted by one or another of the pages on that site, will take an interest in the game and the books.

How well that works is not at all clear, but it is clear that it creates connections.  Today’s e-mail brought me word from a previous correspondent, a doctor somewhere in the Chicago area who has an interest in time travel, who spotted and recognized my name on someone else’s web page and wrote to inform me that I was being cited.  The citation includes the fact that the site designer lifted one of my web pages entirely and dropped it into a file format unfamiliar to me to store on his own web site–but he kept all the internal links intact, including the banner which advertises my current specials and the e-mail link.  The site goes by the name Devil’s Matrix, although oddly seems to be a mask for a section of a site called timephysics.com; my link is on a page about human female anatomy.  The site is a rather detailed discussion of the dangers of contracting disease from sexual contact, and that is the second page of that information.

I am prominently identified at the bottom of that page for my article (found on my own site) Why Shouldn’t You Have Sex If You’re Not Married?.  I’m flattered; the page has gotten very few responses over the years, but it is interesting to see it noticed here.  It also surprises me, because one of the points I make in that article is that the danger of disease, while a good pragmatic reason not to engage in sex indiscriminately (or even less discriminately), is not a sufficient moral reason.  Yet I maintain that there is a good moral reason, that God commends marriage not as a killjoy but because it is better for us.

I am wandering into the content of the article itself; you can read it, if you wish to know more.  For now, I am pleased to have the link, and hope it will bring at least a few more to my site and my books.
