Very well. You're completely incorrect, however, and your belief does not mesh with general mainstream activity. I assume you're unfamiliar with TMZ.com, an entertainment blog that was the main source for the recent Mel Gibson/Britney Spears/Michael Richards fiascos. I know you're unfamiliar with Optical Atlas, which is the de facto reference source these days for a certain type of independent music. There's a signifiant group of editors who view William C. Connoley's RealClimate blog to be a useful resource. Did we forget that a blog, Little Green Footballs, was the one who broke the [[Rathergate]] document scandal?
Yes, it's backward.

You are completely incorrect, however, in calling me completely incorrect. You are insulting and counter-productive.
Furthermore, you are responding to my initial email which I have already modified by saying that there were exceptiosn.
You are also ignoring the underlying issue in which the blogs being used were not reliable sources, and were merely opinion pieces.
Blogs as sources are the exception and not the rule, and each needs to be considered and weighed before it is used, and not after. Blogs are generally unrelaible and non-notable and should not be used as reliable sources.
Jeff, I respectfully request that you stop responding to my posts with insults such as "You're completely incorrect" and "Your thinking is backward". Please, no more commentary on me.
Thank you. Cary
