Look at me, I created "Give your child a smile day, so now everyone is smiling at their child".<BR/><BR/>However, aside from the distastefulness of self aggrandizing, there is something to consider. <BR/><BR/>Many of the blog posts were informational in nature. "How to do" and so on. Blog entries live on after their posts. You have likely noticed many former posts are revisited frequently. <BR/><BR/>That does equate to a greater number of helpful instructions on protecting your watershed or disposing of your latex paint or planting heartier bushes. <BR/><BR/>Sadly, "how to simpsonize yourself" is the most visited post posting of mine. Not important but I just wanted to write "post posting".Droid116https://www.blogger.com/profile/05434806942584240318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869075072931465663.post-34708401483499077862007-10-22T14:44:00.000+01:002007-10-22T14:44:00.000+01:00Well, yes, but if I throw my computer out the wind...Well, yes, but if I throw my computer out the window, all the heavy metals and other bad stuff of which it's made will leach out and pollute the soil. Or I'd run over it with the lawn mower and generate deadly shrapnel. Or it might land on someone and I'd get sued. You have a point, and one of the good things about blogs is that it gives us a chance to rant about the things that bother us. Have at it!Bilbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14213505386288233192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869075072931465663.post-53002089836936239592007-10-18T23:59:00.000+01:002007-10-18T23:59:00.000+01:00Of course, you're right about 'live and let live';...Of course, you're right about 'live and let live'; but doesn't it make you angry that people convince themselves that just writing about something in their blog is really helping, when actually it isn't?<BR/><BR/>If that was literally <I>all</I> they could do then that would be fine - but most people who write blogs are capable of doing something more practical.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, you're a more relaxed person than I am. I enjoy getting angry about these things. ;)noismshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09933436762608669966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869075072931465663.post-35639951588638938092007-10-18T18:20:00.000+01:002007-10-18T18:20:00.000+01:00Everyone helps in the way they can.
