Join the Real World

Following a link in my webstats I discovered that some web-geek has decided that you can ‘trade’ website names in a fantasy stock-market, and we’re on there.

Turns out that in over a year that I’ve been listed just 4 visits to this site have been a result of the nerds playing the game.

I know that all weblogs are a vanity thing, but it’s me that does the thinking, the taking crappy photos, and then struggles to express myself in stumbling English (it’s like a second language to me), and these geeks put an arbitrary value on it without even bothering to read it.

So, although a blog is public, that feels like they’re just abusing my domain name. If none of the fuckers can even be bothered to read the words on the site they’re ‘trading’ then they can fuck off.

I’ve asked to be delisted. I expect they’ll want some code on here or something to prove ownership. Well, they can fuck off with that too, they can just come and read these words which they will know are aimed at them and then delist it.

Who are they? Do you really think that I’m going to give them the pleasure of linking to them?

    Although I think you’re overreacting (and I suspect it’s moot to suggest why), I’ve requested that your blog be delisted.

  2. Jim Says:

    Your blog is now delisted. Cheers.

    Not 4000 visits.

    How can you value something you don’t bother looking at?

    The morals of corporate financiers (and to hell with the workforce) are inherent in us all apparently.

    Actually the real words a bit harsher.

For all that we like the up-to-the minute offerings of the web there‚s nothing like a proper badly photocopied A5 fanzine or a glossily printed proper magazine to keep you occupied on the throne. Here, in no particular order, is our material of choice.
