This page is permanently in construction. The contributions are always in chronological order of inclusion, the most recent one on top. Some columns are syndicated ones, some are not.
Except for the few translations mentioned and a limited number of originals in other languages, this Op-Ed page only lists texts in English, as it is a feature of the English menu on the home page of this multilingual site. Similar, separate French and German (and maybe other) overviews are envisaged or even planned.
Would you like to be informed about additions to this page as well as about new content elsewhere on my sites? Click  and answer your feed reader's question wether you want to subscribe to my news feed with yes. If you do not have a feed reader yet, get a simple, "standards conforming" (there are none!) and good one for free here: SharpReader. I myself have moved to Awasu though for the time being. I had also tried Omea, but as dealing with RSS feeds is only one of the eight main things it does, it seemed overkill to me. It also cannot handle email without Microsoft Office Outlook, which I have, but do not want to use...
RSS stands for Real Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary or RDF Site Summary etc. (depending on the version or the expert) and is shown on sites more often with the icon  . It's a nifty thing, try it, even if some of the best feed readers require that you download and install (it's practically automatic) Microsoft's .NET framework, should you not have it already. It's an unusually safe thing by Microsoft standards...
I may have comments in the feed that are not on my site!
You can also get my feed via a number of RSS Aggregator Sites you may subscribe to. And latest browser versions anyway include functions for all this, very nifty in Firefox for instance.
"RSS is Santa Claus content, delivered to you by the postal carrier, via your own personal remote control ordering system." (Bill Flitter of Pheedo)

Wendy McElroy
Wendy McElroy's syndicated column on this Op-Ed page has been discontinued as per February 16, 2006. The last issue is the one just below dated February 14, 2006. You will not be able in the future to find the column on her own site www.ifeminists.com (a project of The INDEPENDENT INSTITUTE) or on the one of other syndicators like LRC or TLE, only on Mr. Rupert Murdoch's FOXNews.com. Links to the upcoming issues of the column will not be placed as a rule, but as an exception, and then elsewhere on this group of sites, not here as before, as it is the policy of this site that links on this page and elsewhere, as a rule, lead you to texts that actually sit on my website and server, thus not giving the wrong impression that the site's own offer is larger than it is, as is customary with other renowned sites, even if they are not just overviews of what is published elsewhere.
You will though continue to have on this page as a resource a more complete archive of the columns of Wendy than you will find on FOXNews or on her own site, where they are not grouped separately. Please note that occasionally the same column has a different title, depending on where it was published.
