Who cares??!!! I went to the "category page" mentioned and the sheer number of articles about Guido/Dale smack of OCD.The bottom line is – this site is terrible. It's poorly presented and attractive only to obsessives. I am by no means a member of the blogging "community" and I'm bored by the above. What I do know is that whatever you say about Guido/ Iain Dale, they are a good read. Guido may speak a pile of crap sometimes, but at least he's got a sense of humour! More than can be said for this site.

Dizzy, you are right to say that the blogosphere does not exist as a technological entity, for the reasons you describe. But I would contend that it does exist as an online community. The fact that you are having this discussion with Tim – someone you presumably have nothing whatever else in common with – is surely proof of that.

What I want to know is, does Iain Dale pay Dizzy to be his rebuttal unit? Or does Dizzy's sense of obsequious self-satisfaction power his laptop or something?

There you go, Sim-O. Fixed.PS – I would like to note for the record that the last time I deleted a duplicate comment (along with a comment relating to that duplicate comment), Paul Staines screamed; "Look! He deletes comments, too!"Bless.

Well, you could have dropped a subtle (and reliably time-stamped) message into Usenet… but, then again, no-one would be able to see it because none of us exist.

btw, what exactly would be the point of writing down all predictions for the result of a wind up? It would defeat the object. Stop talking bollocks and get back in your kennel.

It's only fire, a wheel, an internal combustion engine… only pricks in marketing with their pseudo-intellectualism think otherwise.Yes, I see your point.

Tch. Such a lot of effort for such a little biscuit."everything you've said, was known, was predicted"This would have been more impressive had you actually predicted it somewhere"The fact that there are so many stupidly easy workarounds"One workaround leads to another, to another, to another… were you predicting that I would 'fall for this', too?"I was redirecting to Page 3 all day Saturday and Sunday but you didn't notice"And I should be visiting your page every day because…? Besides, I think you're telling porkies here."Now as for this crap about the 'fundamental thing that makes a weblog aweblog', get off you're high fucking moral crusade horse."Permalinks are a defining aspect of weblogs; they enable interaction on an item-by-item basis. Conversations emerge. If there weren't something about this that appealed to human beings, those still muddling through life on blogspot.com would still be on Geocities. As for the "It's not a religion!" argument you appear to be leaning towards…http://www.bloggerheads.com/guido_fawkes/2007/04/...… I would remind you that physics isn't a religion, either… but it still has fundamental principles."The blogsphere doesn't exist"We're all imaginary, then?"you'll always believe that my reactions and commentsare me trying dig myself out of a hole"That's because, dear boy, you appear to have problems understanding some of the fundamental principles of trolling.
