Over the last few years several of you have liked some of my 'musings'
and others have either been too courteous or too indifferent to
complain. Now that blogs are part of the net, I wonder if a blog offers
a more appropriate venue for longer essay type posts and subsequent
discussions than a news group. I know that at least two of our most
valued members have blogs while they continue to offer crisp and
directed advice/opinion on this ng. My question is absolutely _not
implied criticism of their useful blogs.

I would appreciate some impersonal guidance and opinion re longer essay
type posts to this ng now that blogs are here. Please, no praise nor
criticism specific to my 'musings'. That's counterproductive to a
housekeeping question and I don't want either one at this time. TIA for
your thoughts re this less than earth shaking query.

Keep 'em coming Arch. I never read blogs, and don't care to start.
Over on the far right of the message listing is the size of the post.
If it's long I can just skip it if I'm too tired to read it. Even the
longest text post here is probably much shorter than even a simple web
page, with all the various graphics and pictures and whazzat that seems
to go with them. They're on topic, they're amusing, and they elicit a
sense of camaraderie w/in the group. How droll this would be if it was
strictly 'rub the bevel'.

Anyway, that's my .02 worth, and since I've been here since the
inception, adjusted for inflation, it's present value is at least
$.05238 (just over a nickel for the math impared)...
