How Is Your Blog Coming Along?

[Ann Omness]

1. I apologize if I've wronged you, Splum, and on closer inspection, I think I have. The fact that you are hosting most of your images at imagevenue set off a red flag for me, because a lot of the image pirates use that service. Now that I've taken another look, I see that you have a sponsor link to each of the sets of content you're advertising.
2. You wrote me about your account being suspended within a few hours of the time I suspended it.
3. Most of the blogs we list are primarily text and don't need 2257's. Others are obviously using sponsor content that I recognize and I don't take issue with it. Some blogs are listed solely because I haven't reviewed them yet.
4. I don't have time to regularly review all the blogs we list, so I do random reviews each day. Yours happened to come up the other day.
5. I'll unsuspend your blog if you want me to. It was my mistake.
6. There is nothing wrong with what you are doing. On my blog, if I excerpt from a news article or another blog, I attribute the source by linking to it. It's the "fair use" concept in journalism.
7. Can we stop pointing now? I am sorry. I see so much cheating going on every day that I get tired and judge too quickly sometimes.
