>>He wasn't called that, but the first Web Log was Jerry Pournelle's. Still one of the best for thoughtful commentary, although outdated format.

Ah, another Pournelle fan, I see. I'm a long time subscriber there (and a monthly here, it's worth noting - the only two sites I pay for).

Many would call FreeRepublic's format "outdated". I'd call both sites effective, without distractions, content rich.

God, I *hate* Flash.

I call it 'clean.' FR's format is the least cluttered of any I visit.

lol! Me too. You know, I only found his site about 3 years ago (I pay also) when someone posted a link on FR. But I'd been reading his Byte stuff for 20 years. Sane, sober, constitutional, good interchange, very, very little invective, and some heavy hitters. I love it (and got another email published this week).

I tried to post a curriculum vitae of him once when I was recommending him here, but it's voluminous, and he evidently won't give one, despite my requests. He has truly accomplished more in his life than just about any other 10 people I can think of.
