Why I Don't Usually Blog

I don't usually blog, as you can see from the few entries so far.

I'm about to provide an explanation, because someone asked why.

Here's the question, which appeared as a comment from Anonymous (after a comment of mine) at Avraham's Lonely Man of Mechqar blog:
  • Uri, you could have a really good blog, why did you just run dry right away?
Good question. Here's the answer.

I didn't run dry -- I created a blogger account mostly to be able to post on other people's blogs. In fact, I prefer emailing the full text of interesting articles to a select list of people who might like them. (Those who want to receive articles should let me know.) If I posted a blog entry with an article's link, sooner or later it would be a broken link. And if I posted a blog entry with the full text, that could violate copyrights. (Although I doubt Yated will ever sue Avraham for his invaluable service in posting their more amusing bits.)

Now you know.

And thanks, Anonymous, for the compliment.
