So, out of the 19 blogs linked from the Project Alberta website, 7 updated today. But only 2 blogs posted at some other point in the past week. 4 other sites which have posted in the month of March (two barely so), and two of them haven't even posted in 2006!

This post's title comes from an old Alberta Report where Paul Bunner or somebody notes that Alberta Separatits seem to really enjoy splintering off. In the blogosphere there's an even bigger problem: fast tracking yourself to irrelevancy. To have to stop posting is one thing: late May until mid-June I won't be on this continent and probably won't have a chance to blog (baseball pool comes first) if I do get internet access. But at least warn visitors, don't just suddenly stop posting with no warning.

I don't care if the postings aren't in general about Alberta Independence [when was your last separatist-themed entry there tough guy? this post made on February 16th? -ed] but at least give potential readers something. I mean, look at all the stuff I've given readers in less than 4 months. Sure none of you have actually read it, but hey, it's there!
