Personally, I don't pay a lot of attention to blogs, even if they are professional. I also have a lot of disdain for some bloggers, who seem to post things on various lists (not here!) and then say "go look at my blog" in order to get more eyes on that blog. I think it's vanity in that case.
I also don't place a lot of credence in most blogs. Stream of thought consciousness or not, blogs generally are one person's opinion or musings. Also blog formats require the blogger to start the conversation and everyone else must comment. Not a real dialogue, in my mind. Will I ever create blog? No. Do I read blogs? There are two that I read on an occasional basis. ...sue (who does know what a blog is) On 9/13/07, Gordon McLean <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > You mean "comment", right? Not "post".
