Define Blog, Just wanted to post this so we all know
as you are all aware, i have been posting in here since boonex revamped the site and also since they posted the rules for the use of this site. we all agreed to the rules when we signed up so this should not be new to anybody with a login name and password. i do not intend to come across crass or indignant, but what i would like to see happen is that those who are unfamiliar with the etiquette of posting in a blog. so i took the liberty to ask my friend "google" to define:blog for me. it was no surprise what i got as a return. here is it for those of you who need to understand. those of you who know, and choose to continue to post in the blog what should be posted in the forum, you are a sad character.

its annoying to know that they get that splash page in their face, and still choose to post issues that should be in the forum on the blog. i dig blogging, been doing it from way back when you used CLI to post, so it just gets me that these guys have a GUI and cant seem to get it figured out.
