Attentive readers will have noted the presence hereabouts of one Newfoundlander, a trinket giver of high degree, by name of Myrick who has made his way to China and now runs AsiaPundit from Shanghai, China. It was interesting to read, then, this article on the BBC about the state of blogging in China - including the spectre of censorship and some covertly blogging on behalf of the state - to read in the final paragraph:

As Asia Pundit writes, it's standard journalistic practice to use a tiny fraction of your interview, depending on how you're telling your story. The world's first newspaper had probably only hit the streets of Antwerp about ten minutes before a disgruntled Belgian was telling his friends "they quoted me out of context!"

Myrick once offered me a drink if I drove two and a half hours and sat at a bar with him between flights the Toronto airport which is nowhere near as sweet the invite I gave Newfoundlander David Janes to the wedding reception I was invited to so that we could sit in the back and chat. Blogging - in the end it's all about class with a capital "K".
