Blogging advice from the 1950s

“Just because your voice can reach half way round the world does not mean that you are any wiser than when it could only reach the other end of the bar”

Attributed in the film “Good Night and Good Luck” to a journalist called Murrow, a staunch opponent of Senator McCarthy in 1950s America. A cautionary note for all of us who blog and perhaps even more true today when it is easy for any voice to reach almost any part of the world (just look at the Clustermap!)
