It wasn't that long ago when The Register had to educate the unwashed masses in the following manner: "Perhaps you have not heard of blogs. The name derives from a combination of "blather" and "logorrhea."
I also remember when the Register used to say: "I'd also like to point out that many bloggers are humorless, thin-skinned and have a grandiose sense of their own importance" or "[People who write blogs] have all the courage, but none of the creativity, of obscene phone callers."
And don't forget the biggest boner of them all, Register sports columnist Nancy Clark:
Know that if the information is coming from the mainstream media - the accredited reporters, broadcasters and photojournalists - they are following strict professional guidelines that the looser outlets don't require. The information has been verified, has been scrutinized by editors, has been fact-checked and proofed.
My how things change.
