Now I have a mental picture of you sitting on a horse, singing show tunes, tilting at windmills. Cool.

You may be happy to accept that.

I am not.

Well, you have affected me enough to get me to comment. so that’s a start

Seriously, I hear you. Of course, we would all *like* to affect, influence, change the world etc.

But for the most part, I think we are happy to accept that we might not bring about ever lasting change.

And you know, even if only 10 people read your blog regularly, you *are* affecting their world, albeit on a small scale. And that’s okay too.

Gustav - good point. Point taken, but I can almost certainly promise you that my audience is made up of more “readers” than “bloggers”… so it matters to me.

You mean that you reiterate (that you reiterated) that you grasp the fact that you are, by posting that post, condemning the posting of posts like the post that you posted?

My point still stands. Sometimes our audience is other bloggers. So what?

Thanks for the links and for blogging about me blogging about other people blogging about blogs and bloggers. Nice one!! Very meta and existential.

Let me quote myself here: “I reiterate that I grasp the fact that I am doing the same thing right now that I am condemning, do not point it out in the comments, I get it, I know that I am doing it but occasionally it is unavoidable.”

I recognise it, you are not the only one, I stated it in my article, twice. But it’s cool, thanks for reading and sharing and linking!
