I clicked on your blog when I was done, just to give you a hit.
I don't really get the bizarre mouth-foaming anti-blog faction here anyway.
Excerpting and linking to poorly written blogs that exist only to pump up the author's ego are annoying. Linking to well written, informative blogs is providing a service.
I say Shout Bits is providing a service by posting his article this way. We can read the whole thing and visit and subscribe if we want to without being forced to hit the blog only to find out that it stinks.
