Why fall for a lame-ass scam to get blog hits?

The full content could be posted here. Ask yourself why it isn't.

Don't fall for the scam. Don't support blogpimps who USE FR as an advertising platform.

I have never understood some people's obsession with so-called 'blog-pimping'. One of the great services that FR performs is to consolidate news, blogs, silliness, etc. If I see the first part of some blog post and it intrigues me, I'll click through. If it doesn't intrigue me, I'll pass it by. No need to bog down the FR servers with all the extra verbiage by posting more than the excerpt.

The world needs more bloggers. Readers can sort out the wheat from the chaff themselves.

Further, to accuse Extremely Extreme Extremist of blog-pimping you must assume that EEE has some connection to C4P. Perhaps that is true, but I seriously doubt you know that one way or the other. And even if it his, please explain exactly what is the harm.

Perhaps you just don't want to show up on someone else's website a see a barrage of advertising. While I admit that can sometimes be annoying, the Net still exists in a free-enterprise environment, at least until the Obamanoids, socialists (who also hate advertising) decide to take it away.

For the record. I don't have a blog. But I am thinking about it. And you can be darn sure I will want to share it with FR. And if I do it will be by posting under the blogs category, exactly the way that EEE posted this one.
