I am a little amazed at the removal of the information about my relation to blogging history. Contrary to article? I wrote a phd on the topic, ^[1]. which was referenced and is online. And provided a link to demonstrate that have provided blog content on the web continuously since Jan. 1995. I know of no other blog prior to this that was political in nature and not merely a diary. If something is truthful and factual, as well as documented with a dissertation and the actual product is still online, and happens to be self-promotional, well so be it. If you don't like the wording, change it. But to see claims that blogging was invented in 1997 (as claimed by Economist article) when I still run a web page with blog content from 1995 (and earlier via gopher sinc 1993 and email since 1989) is the honest truth of the matter. Because I work outside of the Internet community that does this for the technical thrill, and have used these tools for actual social good should not disqualify me. I can refer you to dozens of people that have followed this work for decades from both academia and the environmental world. I believe this content was removed because of someone against my environmental activism on libertarian grounds, and not because it was not historically accurate. Does anyone dispute that I have blogged since 1995 and they are still online and I got a phd for writing about it?Switpi84 (talk) 00:04, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
