That was really interesting to listen to - thanks for agreeing to do it, Tom.... I think that, while I agree with venetia that that it really didn't sound like Bob had spent a huge amount of time reading your blog, he may well come across as the 'reasonable' view to many people who don't read or understand blogs. As far as I can see, he was just scare-mongoring (sp?) You and Ian (obviously) came across as very pro-blog, and Bob was definately anti, Nick was a good mid-point who, I suspect, would feel like the 'happy medium' to the average listener. The fact that he did tend towards the pro-blogging camp will, I hope, have made the average listener more pro than anti.... Anyway, apologies for the long, drawn-out ramble (maybe I should write my own blog...?) It was a good interview, and, although it did nothing to change my view on blogs (not a bad thing), let's hope that some people were swayed by it! -- Hugh Macdonald
