__________________________________________________________________________Notwithstanding the words of Tom Wolfe, who puts an elegant boot, below, into the corpus of bloggers, there are many more people today who would read blogs than disparage them.If you're interested in pushing things further consider Blog World in Vegas, November 7-9, 2007.
