It's as much information as the author wants to give--and the reader needs by way of grounding. You know I'm in NY because there's pictures of big buildings and stuff (and everything's so cool). For all I know jimpunk is in Orlando--he tells us very little about where he is, but I don't really care, cause he delivers the goods.
I know I invited some metablogging-type speculation on the list, but I'm really more interested in people's work. And the sidebar discussions among the four panelists ("Are they attacking blogs?" "I think so." "What is this, 2000?") are definitely keepers. I made that dialogue up but that's what was running through my head upon realizing we were at Square One.
And if anyone from the list ventured over here into evil blogland, I don't mean to be disrespectful. I haven't officially stopped posting to the list, but I wish the moderators had kept the tone at the level of "maybe, just maybe this is already an established deal and not some newfangled dadburn consarned thing where people just talk about themselves all the damn time and therefore we should keep a lid on these 'look at me mummy' trolls on the list because they're embarrassing the shit out of all of us."
I may delete this in the AM, but I need to vent.
