Be Extra Careful When Criticizing

{ link » Subject•Article}
I don't read blogs. My experience of Daily Telegraph 'Commenters' tells me that too many of them are illiterate, verbose, lacking in knowledge of gramatical [sic] construction and too lazy to check their typed contributions before pressing the 'go' button. Bloggers are likely to be the same.

I am in general agreement with the above quoted commenter's observation, despite his inadvertently ironic but illustrative typo. I, however, choose to extract a benefit from this circumstance instead of ignoring a vast new resource that is undoubtedly here to stay.

The difficulty with any resource of vast proportions is finding a sensible way of culling the worthwhile choices. And a very convenient criterion by which to pare down this particular list to manageable size is to ignore that great multitude of bloggers who can not restrict themselves to the very occasional typo, which none of us can eliminate entirely.
