Ha! When *anyone* has a good post, wow. It doesn’t matter who it is. Sometimes people rock, sometimes people suck. We can’t all be dancing in our tap shoes every day :)

As for money or conventional acknowledgment being more important, that all depends on each person’s personal values. I don’t value money very much. To me, there are far more important things in life, such as doing the right thing, helping others and being fair. To another, that person might put money as a great importance because of their life situation or family needs.

But I have the feeling that’s not quite what you’re asking me. Clarify? I’m happy to give my views.

I skip a bunch of posts, but when JF has a good post, wow. I skip your stuff when it’s tedious.

BY THE WAY.

I wanted to ask you: is money or conventional acnkowledgement more important to most writers.

Agreed with your analysis. We tend to drive the message home (mostly because people need that), which makes our posts longer. We also tend to blog for pleasure, not purpose, because let’s face it – everything can be reduced to about 140 characters and still be effective.

But then again, writing is very subjective. One man’s treasure is another man’s trash – I don’t put Freelance Switch as an A list at all, and Awake at the Wheel is nice, but I skip posts more than I read them (I’m sure Jonathan does the same with mine). We’re on different levels, different lifestyles and in different niches, me and Jon, so it’s hard for either of us to be insanely interested in what each other has to say.

Anyways, fun to see how you categorize stuff, and I appreciate the link.
