1. http://www.shlomifish.org/ is not a "blog" of mine - it's my home site. My 
blogs are:

2. You didn't explain what was wrong with what I have been doing. ("Style over 
content" fallacy). So I've been doing it - so what?

What is impolite? In any case, I can post more on-topic things here. Of 
course, I'd like to know what is on-topic. I find the standard announcements 
for stupid Ubuntu events, to be a very low-signal, low-interest posts, but I 
don't reply to it because it is on topic and may be interesting to some 
people.

And for the record, I believe a page against Apple and Mac OS X is on-topic 
here. Some people believe OS X is superior to Linux, and if we point them 
that Apple and Mac OS X are as bad as MS if not worse, we can win a lot of 
market share.
