I like that idea! Please start a thread like that. People could supply links to posts that inappropriately share killable deals and you can keep the OP updated with post titles and URLs organized by blog. Make sure and list the blogs that don't have any objectionable posts as well, in order to highlight that.
As I noted above, I'm not anti-blogger per-se, just anti-certain-kind of blogger. To my discrete blogger friends, I believe this will separate you from the chaff when this is properly quantified and organized. As it is, we tend to lump bloggers together into one group, while in reality they are vastly different in skills and discretion.
