Most dairies contain a lot of the writer’s own input in them built around the link they wish to provide or simply elaborating the point they wish to make. They also, if they can, provide links to other articles etc that boost their central theme.

We have to remember that for every diary posted, one is thrown off the front page. Usually that is not a problem because that diary may be redundant by then but if a person put a lot of effort into a diary, which is usually the case, we owe it to them to have their diary stay on the front page for as long as possible.

Very short diaries like yours are usually preferred on the front page on an open thread where they belong. Besides, the open threads stay up longer and more people get to read the thing.

That’s all I meant when I commented about your diary. No offence was meant and I hope none was taken. Thanks for the link to the excellent video.

Peace.
