[Shout Bits]

I used to excerpt my articles, but I got some rather hateful flame from people who thought I was a ‘blog pimp.’ Lately, I have been posting the whole article, but delayed.

I write Shout Bits for free to advocate for free markets and less government. To do this, I want people to read it, which seems obvious to me. If that is ‘blog pimping,’ I don't see what is wrong with it.

I am sorry, but I am going to have to file this under ‘you can't please everyone.’

If anyone wants Shout Bits on the day it is published, feel free to subscribe either by RSS or email.

Don’t take it personally. Someone is always complaining about something, the point in this case being that FR shouldn’t be used to fund people’s blogs.

No, I know, you were just explaining it.

You have a good blog.

The “blog pimp police” are as irritating (or more) as the blog pimps. Worse than the spelling/grammar nazis. I’ve yet to see anyone forced to click a thread, much less its link.

Please continue to post all of your fine comments in toto. If people tell you to excerpt, they're not doing you any favors. Jim Robinson has given specific delegation and instructions with regard to the handling of bloggers (we like 'em) and blog pimps (we don't).

P.S. I have subscribed to your blog. It's nice to take off my Grammar Police and Pimpbuster hats and just read without distractions.

since it’s a stinking blog just don’t post any of it.
