Can you really, truly not see that this /is/ an incestuous discussion about yourselves? This page, this post, that first paragraph where you started by quoting another blogger? Hello? Most blogging "conversations" (as Bernie and many others would insist on calling it, instead of using, you know, english) inevitably end up in these incestuous discussions about yourselves, about blogging, about bloggers, about who's blogging what and who's "bloging" who (so to speak); often ruining what was quite an interesting subject at the outset. It's that word you like to use so much: Masturbation. Masturbation that's both dull and maddening at the same time. When it stops, I'll start calling my site a blog, but not before.

I think you're missing your point when I talk about topics being ignored or contained, I'm not saying that each blog is ignoring a certain topic and should discuss everything that's going on, but that the conversation that comes afterwards is usually contained to the single blog, while IT@Cork and El Paso was discussed on many number of blogs. I really am not making general statements, I'm not saying that each blog only discusses blogging or is ignoring everything else, but that the interaction between blogs seems to be at its peak for issues of the blog I’m reading plenty of blogs that don’t talk about blogs, but it seems that real conversations across the majority of blogs only happens when blogging is the issue.
