Annoying things about blogs:

1. Analyses of the role of blogs vis a vis the public, the mainstream media, the politicians, and the effect they have on the public discourse. If the author is a blogger, the answer most typically will be that blogs are the best thing that ever
happened to this country. If the author is a journalist, he will wonder about the objectivity of weblogs and ask whether its healthy to view politics through such a narrow prism.

Enough already!

2. Apologies for not posting, people ending their blogs because they cannot handle posting rarely. The main thing that bloggers seem to do, as far as I can see, is apologize for lack of posts. Please. If I decide that I have nothing worthwhile to say for the next year, I see nothing to apologize for. And I see no reason why anyone would expect regular commentary from me. Or a notice that I won't be writing.
