Even if this is true, isn't a line on a Wikipedia talk page saying "so- and-so told Wikipedia that... and it was verified to come from him by ..." basically a one line blog hosted by Wikipedia anyway? (At least if we link to the diff, which nobody can edit.)
I dunno. Why don't you ask on the talk page for WP:ATT? I certainly wouldn't call a line written on a talk page a blog, but I'm not familiar enough with WP:ATT to say whether or not it falls under the term as used there.
You are answering the wrong question. I'm not asking if it's a blog by our definition; I'm asking there's any *practical difference* between it and a blog. What characteristics does the line on the talk page have, that the blog does not, that would justify why we'd *want* the rules to prohibit one but not the other?
