Blog Elitism
I think it's a shame that some blogs, like say, "http://lanctoninhonduras.blogspot.com", are invite-only. What's so secret? How does one get to be cool enough for an invite? I hugely protest this!!
I was very curious to read this blog, as given my interaction with the author I have a strong suspicion that it would be an incredily interesting, even diverting, read. However, since I discovered my inability to access said blog, my desire to read it has been heightened 10-fold. Perhaps it's some sort of marketing ploy they teach you when you're in school for business. It certainly works.
But little does lanctoninhonduras know... I am privy to lagartija's passwords. So once my curiosity peaks I'll probably cave to unethical behaviors and do a little spying...
I wasn't born like this lanctoninhonduras. You made me this way by withholding and not inviting me to be a member of your secret community of the elite...

The only time I ever actually APPLAUDED a blog going private was some guy who used to comment over on my sister's blog a lot. Most of his posts were full of the beginnings of a piece of information but then he'd trail off and say something like, "But I don't want to talk about that, that's PRIVATE!" Well, why do you have a blog, genius? It was like a trainwreck; I kept going back for my daily dose of bemused irritation. FINALLY it went private and I was like "He's kind of getting the point, now..."
Other than that example, I'm not too sure I see the point of having a WEBLOG if you're going to make it private. If you *know* you have a particular audience, well, that's what mass emails are for! (Don't you have to invite people via email, anyways? The mind, it boggles.)

Hey, what do you mean you are privvy to my passwords!!!
And also, I already explained to you the very good reason lanctoninhonduras had to go private.
ps the deleted comment was me- it was the same comment but somehow my exclamation marks didn't show up so I had to put them back in.
Uhhhh... if you did, I don't remember? I must have been in one of my "I haven't slept in two days" periods.
It's a really good reason, huh? *brainstorming*
