My sympathies are certainly with the OP, but I would have two thoughts I hope folks find pertinent:
- Not all bloggers are created equal. Some spoonfeed killable deals and others do not. I have blogger friends that know some very high level deals that they refuse to blog about because that would kill it.
- We can't stop the blogging train and crying over spilt milk has never increased one's productivity. The successful FT'ers have already adapted and still have a rich repertoire of private deals.
