Yes, there are more worthy topics to bitch about.

Case in point:

I want to complain about 'bottom posters'  in emails.
OMG, I just had to scroll through literally 6 months of gook to get a damn answer. Who does this?

NO as it is a frequent problem that robo bloggers make a wasteland of the blog roll knocking hard working bloggers blogs into the twilight and away from the eyes of others who follow the blog roll seeking new blogs to read.  By writing about it more they are hoping the management of AR will listen. Whether you like it or not, if you write a blog it affects you.

What did we expect?

Too often when a participant asks 'HOw often should I blog?" the AR membership provides the responses that have resulted in prolific bloggers. And too many suggest very short 100 word blogs that makes the situation even worse.

Now we have 'BOT' that curate and publish.

And we have content provider that make reality a blog in 15 seconds.

We are now experiencing the environment we encouraged.

Remind the complainer(S) that their voice was lacking when the blogging advise was given.
