Setting up a blog can be quite a hassle, especially for a non-techie, even
if he doesn't have to pay to get it. Basically, "if you want this fixed,
set up a blog" is a big hoop you're making people jump through in order to
fix something that they probably didn't even want in the first place.
We could always set up the blog for them. Or we could set up a wiki
which allows original research, and which can be referenced from
Wikipedia.
