Personal blogs (such as this one) are ramblings - after re-reading what I wrote, I agree with you counter-point and disagree with original supposition...<BR/><BR/>Your blog is doing what blogs do -- allow a person to voice their opinion. Comments are only quasi-interactive, it allows for a point/counterpoint or agreement type of conversation - that is one-off and serial in nature.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for visiting and commenting. I have your site bookmarked and will visit more often.amckinnishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01669076739841687326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19226105.post-1152207313606659912006-07-06T12:35:00.000-05:002006-07-06T12:35:00.000-05:00Arniethanks for reading my blog, if only every onc...Arnie<BR/><BR/>thanks for reading my blog, if only every once in a while.<BR/><BR/>I was wounded by your thought that my blog is self-promotional, though. Promoting what, exactly? I don't do consulting, I rarely sell seats to a seminar, I almost never flog my books, and hey, books are cheap anyway.<BR/><BR/>The point of my blog, and the point of most blogs, is to spread the author's ideas. It's a human trait--to want to be heard.<BR/><BR/>And if you don't want to call my blog a blog, of course you don't have to, but why is that this one element (comments) is essential, but not, say, listing your home phone number, or having a podcast or a webcam feed or adsense ads or a counter or the hundreds of other tools that have been added to blogs?<BR/><BR/>The thing is, I read and answer all my mail. I also read most posts on other people's blogs about my thoughts. Why isn't that a conversation?<BR/><BR/>There, now you have a comment!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
