I have NEVER commented in your blog, err, maybe once...
Surely you'd filter me at the first time we had a disagreement?

No. As I said, I'd leave you up as a poster child for idiocy.

I'll keep that in mind if and when that 10th vote comes in.


Also, I don't think I would use the word "publish" when associated with
blogs.

Eric, believe me, no one cares what you think.

Appears you do, since you responded. ;)

Anyway, do you honestly think blogs are some form of publishing?

Of course they are.

From dictionary.com:

pub‧lish  /ˈpʌblɪʃ/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled
Pronunciation[puhb-lish] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation

–verb (used with object) 1. to issue (printed or otherwise reproduced
textual or graphic material, computer software, etc.) for sale or
distribution to the public.
2. to issue publicly the work of: Random House publishes Faulkner.
3. to announce formally or officially; proclaim; promulgate.
4. to make publicly or generally known.
5. Law. to communicate (a defamatory statement) to some person or
persons other than the person defamed.
–verb (used without object) 6. to issue newspapers, books, computer
software, etc.; engage in publishing: The new house will start to
publish next month.
7. to have one's work published: She has decided to publish with
another house.


Perhaps #4? But still 'blog publishing' is akin to calling poker a
sport as is implied on ESPN.

Geez,
I have seen outhouses with better writing than some blogs.

Which is completely irrelevant (like most of your commentary).

Hey, maybe they should post blogs instead of the sports page in the
johns of clubs and restaurants?
