Peeve Farm Breeding peeves for show, not just to keep as pets
Blog \Blôg\, n. [Jrg, fr. Jrg. "Web-log".
See {Blogger, BlogSpot, LiveJournal}.]
A stream-of-consciousness Web journal, containing
links, commentary, and pointless drivel.
You know, there are content producers in this world, and there are content consumers. I don't hold that one group is inherently superior to the other; people are just inclined differently. Some people create, because it's in their nature; and some people hoover, because it's in their nature. That's fine. Diff'rent strokes and all that.
But I've just got to say: it takes one hell of a content consumer to write the thing quoted at the end of today's Bleat. And I don't mean that as a compliment.
If it's any consolation, James-- the good Fairy can only dream avariciously of being someone who has so much e-mail to answer that it becomes burdensome. And his anonymity is proof enough of the shame it causes him.
The rest of us consumers are fueled by 91-octane Bleats. Don't let one guy with a bomb-laden harbor dinghy cause an oil crisis for the blog world. Gratitude? A four-digit inbox means five or six digits' worth of grateful-- but silent-- readers.
