Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.
Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.
Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.
As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
How the pock did that work? I just stumbled across that site and posted a link on my blog - http://www.di2.nu/blog.htm?20041203a - and then I discover that someone on my blogroll has done the same thing. Bizarre!
ReplyDeleteNo Mystery really.
ReplyDeletePeople tend to put blogs on their blogroll which they find interesting (to state the obvious). Most times, this is because they agree with them. Sometimes it's because they differ, but respect the opinion of the other person on something important. In either case, they have similar interests.
2 people with similar interests will occasionally find the same interesting URL, and chances are, they'll blog it.
About a year ago, I posted 3 articles, and Glenn Reynolds on Instapundit covered the same 3 issues within 4 hours. Close examination of the timestamps showed proof we couldn't have copied from one another, sometimes he'd posted a few minutes before I did, sometimes vice-versa.
