The point isn't that Curtis has a monopoly on thin black strokes and generous leading. The point is that it's not OK to set out with the goal of confusing readers as to whether a blog is or isn't a part of a blog network.

I don't think most people understand that Svbtle is a "blog network" rather than a particular blog engine or even just theme. For a long time I assumed it was just a neat alternative to Wordpress, not an exclusive group of pen pals.

Step 1: Type SVBTLE.COM into your browser address bar.

Step 2: Close your eyes, hit ENTER, count to 10.

Step 3: Open your eyes and count to 10 again.

Step 4: Tell me how that argument still stands.

You're probably right. Thanks.
