Hi Steven,

sorry freddy, but don't you think you can write normal e-mails to the mailinglist or do you just keep on pasting links? are you so keen to push your motz-blogg on top of the google ranking?

Actually I didn't consider this at all, but thanks for the pointer.

i think, people who wants to read your blogg will do - and people who don't want will not. there was a nice invention some time ago called RSS-feeds.

ACK. RSS feeds are availabe. But I consider the number of clicks as a real interest - +100 clicks in just one hour after sending the link to SwiNOG. Obviously not many have subscribed to RSS yet.

i personally thought at the beginning: well, a nice blogg to cover the interests of the swiss internet community. but now i have to admit, that it seems that this is your personal newsletter to gruble against everyone (aka enemies - i mean 'public' enemies). we all know now that you don't like sunrise, swisscom, cablecom, solnet, etc.

Wrong. I consider all of them as valuable and respectful competitors, sometime partners or even friends, too (not the companies, but their employees). But I consider a fair market with equal opportunities a necessity. And we all know this is by far not the case in Switzerland.

to take out a short statistic from the last 20 entries of your blog:

• 1 positive message (wimax)
• 1 neutral message (swinog #11 - ok, we're all alkies ;-))
• 1 ad (multihomed; it's your right - it's your blog :))
• 15 motz, complain and information about

swisscom/sunrise/cablecom/switch/etc.

• 2 informations about (possible) bankrupties

(comparis.ch/webspace4you)

Well, thanks for the statistics. But I have to say that you didn't read really careful (comparis.ch is _not_ a bankrupt, the ad was not only an ad, rather a message of Gartner). Those so called 'motz' are much more information about probably not very nice news, execpt only a few (Bluewin Liebesbrief for instance).

It's not me who sets most of the topics. You don't blame the journalist reporting the deads of a hurricane, right? If you cannot stand the message, you shouldn't shoot the messenger.

the one really funny entry i remember was the one with the broken /dev/null device.

It's not my intention to be funny. There are much better sources for fun.

so, please keep in mind that blog's are more or less personal diaries. if you want to really discuss swiss network stuff please use the mailinglist - i will not use your blogg for discussing internet/swinog related topics.

blogg.ch doesn't have to be only personal. It's - as the subtitle says: "Insider-Informationen über Schweizer Internet Service Provider. Entwicklungen und Trends, Gerüchte, Diagnosen und Prognosen."

Consider it as a comment column in a newspaper. I really try to stick to the truth, but I will always mix my personal opinion to the facts. I don't consider it as a normal newsticker, and I'd be selective with topics I consider intersting.

You can agree to my angle of view, or you don't. You can read it, or you don't. It's really your choice.

I will try only to post really important stuff from blogg.ch to swinog - as the latest topic (WEKO Verfügung, whole text). This is IMHO an important topic, unless you don't consider your workplace important.

Hope this clarifies my motivation. Fredy.
