You seem like a genuinely great person, someone that you'd want to have a coffee with, and that makes reading your blog very enjoyable to me.<br /Andiehttp://whatandiesays.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-964944634451421184.post-42873657522487506742011-01-24T09:09:14.965+00:002011-01-24T09:09:14.965+00:00Hi, again, interesting discussion.

However, I don't know if bloggers work for public. Sometimes, it sounds more like bloggers live their own life; hanging out with other bloggers, interested in blogs and other bloggers, and perfectly ok with this. Is it so?

I think on occassion it can be easy to tell when blogs aren't genuiene, especially if they have a twitter account to go with it. it's the way the writing flow as if you were talking is when it (or lack of) gives it away.
