I only have a gripe with bloggers who post as if they know what the hell they're talking about but don't have any real past success to back up their assumed authority. I bet if you looked back at the posts of anyone who's a real success today before they proved themselves you wouldn't see them preaching as if they know everything. I think that's a big problem in the startup/venture business, some people seem to develop larger personalities online than they do offline. This thread, and my response to it, was related to giving out startup advice. I'm not against blogging at all and I think it's great that you're doing it. I plan on starting a blog soon myself, but until I earn my stripes I'll always think of myself as a student.
