After all, just because one talks about the big winners, how such-as-such is heard and powerful and influencial, why would that be a basis to infer that bloggers are, err, "disproportionately" influencial? But let someone write about a downside affecting the BigHeads ... well, that's different.

No, I don't have exclusive claim to my first name but I found it strange that that name is not present on her blog anywhere I could see, yet she uses it to post here. Delia P.S. Not necessarily ill intended, of course, just seems odd to me... D. Dan,

Delia Dan,
