There's about 20 other blogs that have the exact same material 2 or 3 weeks ago.  It's great to have more blogs, but only if they're not completely repetitive.<br /><span class=\"byline\">           Anonymous | 06.15.08 - 10:13 pm | <a href=\"#28009\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr><td class=\"MessageCell\">    <a name=\"28012\"></a>        <p>By my count, we were no worse that 1,266th blog to report on it.<br /><span class=\"byline\">           George | 06.15.08 - 11:11 pm | <a href=\"#28012\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr><td class=\"MessageCell\">    <a name=\"28013\"></a>        <p>PS - it would be one thing if we fashioned the blog as some sort of breaking news outpost, but we do it basically to keep each other informed about Irish news, hence the numerous inside-jokes that litter our posts. We get how others drop by here because of the person who's been posting our stuff on NDLNA (thanks, whomever you are) and we're not trying to scare anybody away, but punctuality isn't our highest priority. <br><br>Besides, we wrote up our Ben Turk story a full day before the gold-standard blog, Blue-Gray Sky. So make sure you harass them for tardiness too.<br /><span class=\"byline\">           George | 06.15.08 - 11:17 pm | <a href=\"#28013\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr>    <td class=\"InputCell\">                  <br /><div style=\"margin: 0 auto; width: 125px;\"><a href=\"http://secretbuilders.com/ref?id=JSKIT\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http://www.haloscan.com/images/secretbuilders.jpg\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" border=\"0\"/></a></div><br /><div id=\"newcomment\"></div><form method=\"post\" name=\"addComment\" action=\"http://www.haloscan.com/comments/biggeorge/3819655136278981533/\" target=\"_self\">        <p>    Name: <br />          <input name=\"name\" type=\"text\" size=\"38\" value=\"\" /><br />          Email:<br />          <input name=\"email\" type=\"text\" size=\"38\" value=\"\" /><br />          URL: <br />          <input name=\"url\" type=\"text\" size=\"38\" value=\"\" /><br />          Comment:&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"javascript:emo_pop()\" title=\"Smiley and tag help\" target=\"_self\">?</a>&nbsp;<br />          <textarea name=\"addMessage\" rows=\"12\" cols=\"38\"></textarea><br /><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"subscribe\" id=\"subscribe\" value=\"1\" /><label for=\"subscribe\">Notify me of followup comments via email</label>        </p>        <p class=\"PSubmit\"><input name=\"submit\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Publish\" style=\"font-weight: bold;\" class=\"SubmitButton\" />&nbsp;<input name=\"previewMessage\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Preview\" class=\"SubmitButton\" />        </p>      <input type='hidden' name='user' value='biggeorge' /><input type='hidden' name='comment' value='3819655136278981533' /></form>    </td></tr>  <tr>    <td><p align=\"center\">        Commenting by <a href=\"http://www.haloscan.com/\" target=\"_blank\">HaloScan</a></p>      </td>  </tr></table><img src=\"http://c5.statcounter.com/counter.php?sc_project=561713&amp;java=0&amp;security=01eeff58\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" /></body>");
