weblog graveyard

dave over at fucked weblog emailed me back today about my recent submission. Weblogs are extremely serious for some people - in fact for some a little too serious. Perhaps sometimes I write like that as well, but in the end I realize that this is the Internet, where everything you read (or write) means nothing to varying degrees. However, something he told me gave me an idea about just how fucked up some people are:

I was a little shocked to say the least. I mean I understand that blogging is a release for some people, to get all their problems into the open and hope for a little support from the online community. That's fine, even though I don't enjoy reading those types of weblogs. But when you go out of your way to send a suicide note to the guy that is keeping an informal tally of defunct weblogs, I think at that point it's time to assess what really matters in your life.
