So it seems that I've come full-circle. Or maybe half-circle-as we're talking a hundred & eighty degree turn.
After being hailed by Stephen as one of the most open & revealing bloggers he's seen (in terms how I've tended to blog about my personal life), I have decided to remove The Oliopolis from the public blogroll. Off Blogger's listings, and out of my profile view. The more I think about it, the more I realize that my various thoughts & mini-essays are really intended for a small audience; those who know me & generally share my perspective. I may wish to preserve my "bloggins" at some point in the future for my own personal satisfaction, but I have no particular need to shoot everything that occurs to me out the the world at large. If and when I produce something in this forum that I wish to "take public," I'll look for the appropriate forum. Till then, I'm generally satisfied with my "readership," and can point "2nd tier readers" to specific posts if & when it seems appropriate.
The turning point, really, was my Project 365. Link from this page is one way, baby. It occurred to me how it is possible that there are those people in my life that I may wish to point towards this photographic endeavor that I wouldn't want within 50 miles of some of the rantings that go on in The Oliopolis (I'm thinking of work associates and family in Iowa in particular, here).
Anyway, for the others in this particular corner of the Blogosphere - I'm sorry this is not going to turn out to be the traffic generator you expected.

You're about 40% of my readership, so I can't say it doesn't make a fair amount of sense.
I've had maybe 2 out of the group comments to anything I've written ever - so it's not like blogger is steering people my way.
And without my last name in my profile - it would take some sleuthing to sort me out.
Actually, when I first started reading your post I thought - wow - some shit's going on in Dan's life that he hasn't told anyone about...

at which point I was thinking WHAT! WHAT could it possibly BE! A SECRET?!
But no. Just some due diligence.
Oh yes, I almost forgot. Now I like boys instead of girls.
That's what I'm talking about....
And all because of my re-appearance.
What-making the blog not public or "liking boys?"
You are a silly man.
