Pet Peeve

July 07, 2005

Update:

So now if I want to check out the Baltimore aggregator over the weekend, I have no choice but to read “Vaginal Cre....” at the top of the list. Thank you ever so much for postdating that entry for monday so I absolutely must enjoy that pearl of your wisdom ALL WEEKEND LONG. You are truly a moron.

Forget the stomach ache, I would actually be happier if you died.

To those of you who postdate your entries so that your posts will appear on the top of aggregator lists:

a) I’m not going to read ANYTHING you write, EVER.

b) If you want more traffic, work on your content and stop depending on cheap tricks.

c) You are more annoying than spam.

d) ~~Die~~. I hope you get a really really bad stomach ache for a couple of hours.

so you think that's intentional? if so, that is so beyond lame. people who do things like that should be fined, or made to do blog community service...but there should be some sort of price to be paid for pulling crap like that.

Yeah, well, when I said "die" I think I was overstating my sentiment. In retrospect, I would be perfectly happy if they just posted at the correct time and date in the future. There is no question about it being lame, though.

you probably don't remember me but I met you on fotolog.net, my nick there was Misoboy. Anyway, I just wanted to say hello and I'm glad to see that you're still blogging away!

Yeah I totally remember you. hey.

A month ago, your post would be total jargon to me, so I'm giving people whose blogs show up early the benefit of the doubt in that I don't think they're doing it intentionally. But it is kind of annoying.

You are a far kinder soul than me. the vaginal poster posted the correct day and time yesterday, and than posted for monday before the weekend. hmmmmm. he's an asshole.

I actually had a discussion through e-mail with the vaginal cream guy regarding post-dating entries too far in advance and he said he'd stop doing it. Then he did it again, and post-dated it three days into the future - his most egregious infraction yet. That blog has now been deleted from your favorite online aggregator. Will you stop whining now?

Heh. Jeez, face, your tone betrays your anonyminity.
