Why blogging sucks

Dave Appell at Quark Soup has a jeremiad against blogging up. It's fine, but I have to add that I was reading Dave's original blog in early 2002 (the first science blog I ever read), and he would post his frustrations about how crappy it was being a writer and how blogging was unsatisfying. As it happens, it's 2008, and he's come back to blogging, and last I checked he's still a writer. Dave also sent Rod Dreher an angry note for having supported the Iraq War (though Rod now opposes it). So I'm just sayin', keep the messenger in mind :-)
