If they are, people will continue to read and post comments. It may be that the "Bloggernacle" as a whole is just too large.

When I wrote this blog entry I specifically tried to avoid that kind of language. True, it could be implied by what I said. That was not my intention.<br /><br />What I was doing was expressing my personal observation. One that I have heard from others. What I don't believe is that any of this is going to just go away.
