Bwild: Just click 'remove' when it pops up, and voila! You can remain happily in the dark.

Eriisa: He asked for a permanent fix. It comes back the next day even after you hit remove.

Rose: yes, it only removes the current blog entry. The new one will come up.

Bwild: just think of it as just one more button to click once every 24 hrs - taken in context with how many other "clicks" we make on a daily basis - it will fade from your memory quickly - besides - maybe someday as you move to remove - you will see something that catches your eye.....

redfrog: I'm inclined to aggree with Bwild. I already subscribe to the RSS feed of the blog, why should I have to read the same blog entry twice?
Also, it's not about important news. Fencer just proved that by submiting a News entry this week about the scheduled downtime - he didn't post it as a blog entry, clearly stating that both of them are for different things...

Funny thing: I've grown so used to of clicking the remove link without even reading the blog entry first (since I'll read about it eventually on my RSS client), that I almost removed the scheduled downtime news entry without reading it (and this is particularly important to read, since I usually send Fencer a translated version of the News). Point is: if you just remove or ignore the blog entries, you risk not paying enough attention to the really important news...

pauloaguia: LOL! and I look at it the other way.... Why bother with the RSS when I know I'll see it on the main page. Yep, that is truly a reason to have the permanent remove choice.

Eriisa: With RSS I can subscribe to the feed with comments to the blog entries. I won't see any comments just by looking to the main page on BrainKing.com

pauloaguia: ahhhh I see what you mean.

Bwild: It would be good as an option, because I like having the blog box at the top of my page when I log on. I read every entry. I don't want to read it on a seperate feed, because I probably wouldn't read it every day in that case.

Bwild: Very funny.
