Dave,

A white anglo saxon male belief too if I'm any judge.

By the way Rev, I am getting to your meme but things have been a bit disheveled lately.

Rev, the problem, perhaps, with your meme is that there is no participation, only a re-posting. For most bloggers, we're here to say our piece, so just repeating an idea wont carry a lot of appeal. Tagging works because it appeals to our vanity - we want to talk about ourselves, even if only occasionally.

I've been toying with an idea designed to see how far and how fast something travels through the internet, but I suspect it would be pretty much nowhere, because it doesnt involve the bloggers who would be required to pass it on, other than as repeating stations.

@ Poobah: it says "attend", not "own".
