You may also be totally misguided (no offence meant). If you want to read Hodgman, read the blog post itself, NOT THE COMMENTS! Commenting gives people (usually, other than the blog owner, although he may contribute as well) an opportunity to say what they feel, whether published in a book or not, about a particular blogpost. To the reader, it's optional really, and I suspect the one reason a reader might click over to comments is to write one themselves. While I do not think it is necessarily right to advertise your blog through comments, there's really nothing offensive about it. All bloggers have a secret need to be read, and that's absolutely human nature. One will observe that c.t. pope, who first took offence with commentng and suggested moderation is also the first culprit of the advertising thing - he snidely put a link to his own budding blog.

I happen to have personal experience of this, but I still wonder if Mr. Hodg-man's world view would offer a more informed reading of the facts? In fact, legend has it that the key to riches lies in coitus with a female hobo, complete with raggedy clothing and rastafarian locks. Please leave comments if you have been so opportuned to fortune as I will return here to digest that piece of information, with much glee. Of course, the theory of hobo-coitus-riches has not been tested elsewhere, I inform by way of caveat.<BR/><BR/>Good evening.Esquirrel, yo!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07672452070538417421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17324569.post-1154065469752237462006-07-28T01:44:00.000-04:002006-07-28T01:44:00.000-04:00One has to wonder at the precise moment in history...One has to wonder at the precise moment in history hoboship (dare I qualify it this way?) became a central vestige of modern civilization. Certainly, some disdain has to be attributed to my elementary school teacher who encouraged the rote learning of this sentence: "As I was descending from a high decivility, I suddenly lost my centre of gravity, and was precipitated into a state of machamadised thoroughfare." Or unfortunately still: "The architectural monopoly of the Italian Peninsula was not achieved in one rotation of the earth." Such is the penmanship and eloquence of hobo scholars. I say carry on hobodrawers, we must consume this plague, take the fowls, intricate them, in the hope that when the sun sets, we shall be rewarded for our amiable hospitality.Esquirrel, yo!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07672452070538417421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17324569.post-1154049817368414062006-07-27T21:23:00.000-04:002006-07-27T21:23:00.000-04:00Im sorry, the "Blog of Note" society regrets to in...Im sorry, the "Blog of Note" society regrets to inform you that this blog was actually nominated as a "Blog of Crap."<BR/><BR/>Sorry for the mix up.<BR/>The intended blog of note was www.supersexypictures.blogspot.comSenor Cheeseburgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13562464402418285919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17324569.post-1153972051400746892006-07-26T23:47:00.000-04:002006-07-26T23:47:00.000-04:00Exactly and you don't have to worry about any hobo...Exactly and you don't have to worry about any hoboes coughing up bits of fur.. ;-)Annjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03914337057503924724noreply@blogger.com
