RSSI Was Here
There are a ton of articles (such as Why I hate Weblogs) springing up about how blogs are an annoying, stupid, a waste of time. Maybe they are. I agree that there are some pretty bad blogs out there, rife with bad grammar, bad poetry, and nothing of much value to the external world, except to the person writing them. But, to discourage someone from making a very small, simple attempt at saying,
“I am here,”
is to rob them of something pretty valuable.
If you are lucky, the average person without a bridge named after them will be remembered two generations after they die. After the mourners go home, and the kids grow up, and their kids grow up, the world goes on as if they had never existed. I think that for someone to make a small attempt at saying
“I am here,”
no matter how poor, should be fostered rather than discouraged.
