I personally am more tolerant than, er, ahem, some...and I don’t have a problem with an occasional post from a personal blog.
The difference is, there are some people who will start dozens of threads with an excerpt from their blog, with the express intent of driving viewers to their blog to drive up the statistics on views.
Those people don’t even participate in the threads they start. You never see them chime in or respond.
I do have an issue with that. Not what this poster has done...
I get it, thank you!
