Agreed. And pinging the insane fool who recently opus'd out in the most insane way is useless because the Zot burns that rot.
But, in answer to his claim, I have been annoyed by the blog pimps, not so much for the practice itself, but for the hit and run robot aspect of many of them. Sean Anthony shocked me one day when he actually responded to someone after he had uploaded a dozen or so articles from his blog like a scripted autobot.

Just your old crazy uncle with tourettes sitting in the corner.
I don’t ping bitter, mean drunks who contribute nothing but bile.
Same reason I don’t extend my hand to a rabid dog inside his dog house.
What’s gained in either case?
