For sure this side of the net is all money and reason we dont give out a link without getting something back.

Not true for me. I linked to Anas panties blog from my main article during superbowl week, of course I'm a steelers fan and they were steelers panties. I link to lukeford.com on occassion when Fayner writes something noteworthy to me.

I'd link to others, but I don't have the time in the day to work two jobs, and maintain my sanity let alone read all the text heavy blogs out there that I know I'd enjoy reading (Walrus' and Boogies to name the two that come to my mind first).

I avoided posting in this thread because when I started blogging, I really made it personal and as time went on I moved away from personal exposition and I'd bet that now some would view my site as sploggy, and I didn't wanted to be labelled as such.

Am I a splog, am I a clog, I don't know. Personally I like to think I lie somewhere in between trying to make money off of my postings and enjoying what I am doing, and sure somedays I just don't feel like posting but feel like I have to anyways, and I come up with something generic. Should I have to fear criticism from my peers because I posted some hack-kneed sales jargon to push one of my favorite sponsors? I guess my hope is my peers will understand me enough not to criticize.

Anyway, there's one depraved Preacher's 2 cents.
