"You say it best, when you say nothing at all..."

I just think it's interesting that it was described as an article, and treated as one, when it's in fact someone's life commentary (in a blog's purest form, this is what it is).

If it was a front page "article", then comment in that manner - but not their thoughts...

Interesting how the perception of blog is now rather enmeshed with an article or similar written piece. Fascinating in fact the way formal and informal (such as blogs) pieces of writing are now melded together. Possibly a fault of the site in presenting them as such, but probably rather endemic all over the net.

I like how the forum isn't full of sychophants.

Honest feedback can be recieved, rather than just folk posting it was a great read etc.

It did have the feel of a bad wedding toast to it to begin with. "The Oxford dictionary defines marriage as......"

I did however, enjoy the anaology.

No-one told me there has to be a point to these articles, they're not all strategy pieces. I think a bit of musing is fine.

you are correct Heid, the mistake I made with it was going to blondepoker and looking at the front page where it says "latest articles" and seeing richards writing, and assuming that it was an article. An honest mistake that some people might make.

it doesn't have to be a strategy piece to have a point, and my own personal opinion, which I think is ok to post , and which others wont agree with, is that if it doesn't really have a point, then its not much of an article/blog post/whatever the correct definition is. Nothing more, nothing less. Just an opinion.

I have thoroughly enjoyed all your previous ones, they have been really well written and informative/educational and worthy of multiple re-reads. I hope to have that pleasure with the future ones as well

You try using a big word, and Heid just takes the piss.

Back to words of one or tow syllamebobs for the rest of the day.

incidentally, I never knew what sycophant meant (had a vague idea) , so went to look it up and got the following:

According to ancient authorities, the word (derived by them from συκο suko, "fig", and φανης fanēs, "to show") meant one who informed against another for exporting figs (which was forbidden by law) or for stealing the fruit of the sacred fig-trees

Although in our language, a sycophant is someone who continually compliments those in positions of power in order to curry favour.
