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
