> Imagine what the forum would look like if every FReeper that has a blog posted it here.

First, there's nothing wrong with the "F-Bloggers" area of the forum, where John posts. You are certainly welcome to bitch about bloggers who pimp their crappy blogs in "News", I complain about them myself, and in fact did so earlier today. They belong in "Bloggers". Don't like blogs? Stay out of "Bloggers", how hard is that?

Second, unlike most bloggers, John does not excerpt -- he posts his article in its entirety. No pimping teasers or incomplete articles -- you can read his entire piece and go no further if you wish. The link to the rest of his page is for those who missed other articles.

Finally, the quality and interest level of John's pieces is high. They're short, succinct, pointed, and generally enjoyable by those of us who appreciate satire.

Not all FReepers appreciate satire. You may be one of them. If so, then you are welcome to avoid John's threads. Nothing hard about that at all -- the digest listings give his by-line.

Have a great evening!

You posted your opinion, I posted mine. I guess we’re even.

I stand with dayglored on this one. Couldn’t have written my thoughts any better on the matter.

Personally find it easy to read “semi-news, semi-satire” posted as the link under all of John Semmens posts as well the topic/keywords clearly indicate the type of article it is. All one has to do is be aware, be alert, or have a glass navel.
