Whose blog is it anyway?

Last night was eventful. Lin and I had a bit of a tiff about the blog.

Lin has not posted in a while and wanted to make a post asking you, the readers, what they wanted to hear about. She typed up the text and gave it to me to proof , we always do this to make sure there are no major typos. Everything went well with the post until it hit on some example topics that Lin might post about. One example was making sure you eat the right type of selenium!

Now Lin is a nutrition guru, she is a member of the CR Society and has read just about everything you can think of about nutrition. She reads research papers in the bath to relax! Diet and nutrition are a big part of our everyday lives as Lin and the children have some major allergies and making sure that they eat correctly while excluding major food groups is a nightmare. I’m sure that what she would write would be very interesting to those who were interested in it. My view is that I would like the blog to remain diet free.

Now, the problem was that Lin had only meant the selenium quote to be a kind of joke, but it hit a bit of a nerve in me and I over reacted. Thus we had a few hours of ‘discussion’ as to whose blog it was and what they could post. At one point Lin pretty much threatened to quit the blog.

Well, to cut a long story short we have reached a consensus. Diet may make an occasional appearance but there will be no long treatise on the benefits of the right type of selenium. There will be posts on subjects that touch on photography, even if only slightly.
