I remember when COD used to give a good fisking to something that was plain nonsense. After 40 or 50 of them, you get the sense that people will continue to write nonsense no matter how many times you correct it. @christine - I think having made many friends through blogging has been the best part of it. @Theresa – we don’t read newspapers for the same reason.

There are few blogs in my "regulars" that post regularly anymore. We are letting a few of ours go but even though we hardly ever blog I am having a hard time getting rid of thegookins.net. And I'm glad for the friends I've met through blogging. We use facebook and it has been nice to catch up with people I lost track of, but then there are those people that find me that I really wish hadn't :) Agreed.

About both things. I have seen a lot fewer comments on my blog lately and I don't have a traffic meter (I think( but I'd be willing to bet the traffic is way down. I also can see where a lot of the ideas have been played out as well. I find myself skipping many of the blogs I used to read a lot (homeschooling blogs, Catholic blogs, Mom blogs) and visiting blogs in new categories, like art blogs because I am looking for new content and a fresh perspective. (I left the political blogs behind years ago because they never have anything positive to say.) And I also find that I have less and less to say that hasn't been said a thousand times by myself and others,and so I am posting less frequently. I hate repeating myself, you know?
