How many read blogs? (please reply)

I voted No. As a general rule I do not read blogs. However, if someone on a board I read points out an interesting article in a blog, I may go read it (depends upon the article and the author).

The biggest problem with blogs is that anyone -- regardless of ability -- thinks that they:

1. Have something of interest to say
2. Know how to say it
3. Know how to communicate / write it

When in fact:

1. Most stuff is not very interesting to an audience outside your family
2. Many bloggers are not very articulate
3. Many bloggers are not very good authors / writers and do a piss-poor job of using the english language

Having said all that - my wife posted an article in a Blog (allears.net) a couple of years ago on our cruise through the Panama Canal and it was the greatest thing ever!
