This poster only uses FR for hits and never joins the discussion. Driving traffic to your blog is not what FR was created for and it isn't why FReepers support FR with their hard earned dollars.

I don't like being "used". Why do you?

I have mixed feelings about that. I don’t scour the blogosphere for reading material, so when someone posts and links from their blog on FR, it at least provides opportunity to take it or leave what otherwise I may never see or read. Some of the blog links are quite good, but I do wish the practitioners would post the whole rather than an excerpt.

There are many times I’ve posted articles/excerpts from other sources a made little if any comment myself. Granted, it is not the same as posting from my own blog. I tend not to be self-promoting, but it takes discipline.

Given a world where everyone wants their ideas to be held in high esteem, it is no wonder a plethora of notions gain expression in a multitude of formats. Nothing in the way of words and ideas, however, eclipses the public reading and orthodox preaching of Holy Scripture in the midst of a Christian congregation.
