"splogging" as it were, will rise, seeing that Blogger really doesn't police their service, as they should. This is why I finally said that it's time to get back on to wordpress and get my own host. Which I did, for free, which is totally awesome. Anyways, I'm glad you shined a spotlight on this. Closest I ever came to copying content, was copying your, yes, your, Blogroll and using it on mine. I ended up removing, because it was just too long for me. Hope all is will with you Joe and don't be a stranger... Come on over and visit sometime. -Chuck Detroit Times </strong> Hi Joe,
