isn't it a general trait of the true blog-pimp that they don't respond to comments but rather just post and run?

The definition has evolved. First, it was somone pimping their blog by placing it in a sidebar. Then it became someone simply posting an excerpt of a regular news article on their blog to generate hits. Now, it's become someone who posts original material in the Bloggers Forum where it belongs.

You are not a pimp for simply posting blog articles in the bloggers forum. You are a pimp if you needlessly excerpt your articles to get hits. Really, what real reason can a blogger have for excerpting from his blog? Their blogs are not on FR's 'excerpt only' list. They are using FR as a platform for promoting their blog. That is unacceptable.
