That's the last day I read this individual's Boarding Area blog.
I can't please everyone. Like others have said, it's a restaurant. You can argue that something is wrong and send it back. You will have more difficulty changing the menu. Especially if you don't complain (first I heard about this). The biggest complaint I've gotten was about the recap posts, and I actually did stop writing them for a while. I thought about how to make them better. And in the meantime, I was getting many MORE emails from people telling me they liked them. Now it seems that a lot of bloggers have started doing recaps.

I try to limit the number off "off topic" posts like the one that offended you, but I'm not the only abuser. It's just meant to be a fun break. The majority of people still like the majority of the content, and I continue to add more readers than I lose.

For blogs in general, if you don't like one post, don't read it. But if you like the rest of the content, I think one post is a poor excuse to stop reading everything else from the same blogger. I have lots of favorite restaurants where I only like one or two items on the menu.
