That mean I'm a harbinger of ideas that are often not well thought out beforehand. Hmmm. Not a bad description. :-) I thought I was just being 'sassy'.<BR/><BR/>Ok, back to the topic at hand. Your little promotional message (It's always nice on the ego to be recognised for something, too bad the ego is often so limited in depth, and all-too-fragile)about how the 'true life' of blogging is found in the 'comments' section got me 'thinking'...At least I like to call it that-it's really more of a grinding of ball-bearings in the bowl of goo that my species likes to call a 'mind'.<BR/><BR/>I wrote this post, 'Blogging sure beats talking to your face.'<BR/><BR/>Permalink: http://www.blogspoke.com/page/blogspoke?entry=blogging_sure_beats_talking_to <BR/><BR/> As always the intellectual, thoughtful speak-after-you-think types will find errors in my arguement, and I hope they do...However, you could agree on a few ideas as well. <BR/><BR/>You got to 'name' a bunch of people, so I'll take a chance and give you a little nickname:<BR/><BR/>John 'Finding the Money': Oddball extraordinaire: Money Mogul with a Heart of Gold, and Morals of a Sage.<BR/><BR/>P.S.

Not that this means anything in particular other than we both recently had birthdays! <BR/><BR/>I have also bookmarked everyone listed - they were already bookmarked (like Liz's and Kumiko's) or I added them.<BR/><BR/>Hawaii SEO: I'm not into the Blogger comment method but as my mom says (to most everything), "Such are the wages of sin."<BR/><BR/>For some reason, this response does seem apropos for most situations.<BR/><BR/>Another annoying behaviour of blogger is that the word verification expires or something. I'll enter in the word and since I've spent so long typing it it won't take the original word and I have to enter in the new one.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, you can see the original post by clicking on the "Show Original Post" link.

You can no longer see the original post, etc... <BR/><BR/>Getting rid of the Nofollow tag on the comments would also be a big plus.
