The barrier of entry for blogs is a lot lower than a lot of other forms of communication and expression of ideas, and that is a good thing. As to all the things bloggers "should" and "shouldn't" do, I think all the answers have merit for different reasons and individual bloggers (I even hate the term "blog" and "blogger") should do what they feel works best for them. When it comes to comments, anonymous comments, subject matter, "my house, my rules" rules. By the way, I am proud to be reader #6. To me, blogs are just another way to communicate.

How about you other 3 faithful readers saying something nice too, so Bob has some incentive to keep this up.
