I don't think blogs can easily explore technical issues in depth, but I find in their multiplicity a useful antidote to propaganda in that you can so easily go elsewhere and compare.<br /><br />It's the ease of checking and comparing that I like, plus the different tones and voices. As you say, there must be a PhD in there.A K Haarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05897490979828603179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481298417819219839.post-41935558362751967312011-12-11T12:01:06.251+00:002011-12-11T12:01:06.251+00:00The blogs are a nice place to vent one's splee...The blogs are a nice place to vent one's spleen occasionally or to gently pull a leg. The debates are sometimes manipulated a bit but mostly not - certainly not as openly as Question Time - what a joke!<br /><br />The various blogs do have a different 'feel' to them, some seem like the old coffee houses, some like draughty corridors and some like places where everyone shouts and yells. Another curiosity is that some blogs seem a place to drop one's comment and vanish, in others the commenteers delight in point scoring off each other. In yet others the main object seems to be getting in first. Possibly a PhD to be had here (or there).<br /><br />As a way of exploring an issue in-depth I am not sure blogs really do that and I am not sure why - too long winded or not the right medium?.<br /><br />I wonder if some 'department' monitors the blogs and has us all marked on some lunacy database - probably not (at least in any useful way).rogerhnoreply@blogger.com
