That close minded opinion you quoted left a bad taste in my mouth and makes me not want to check the OP's blog out.

Almost every opinion people have has been covered by someone else in some way unless you are working at the forefront of something, so it usually depends on how you value-add to existing things with your own experience.

It's also that sort of I-know-what's-better attitude that turns a personal thing into a competitive thing.

What is semi-successful anyway...
