Scott Adams, author of the Dilbert Comic strip, has been publishing a semi-occasional e-mail newsletter for several years, and I've been a loyal reader of its rare appearances. Here's a lovely quote from the latest edition:

People who are trying to decide whether to create a blog or not go through a thought process much like this:

1. The world sure needs more of ME.
2. Maybe IÂ’ll shout more often so that people nearby can experience the joy of knowing my thoughts.
3. No, wait, shouting looks too crazy.
4. I know – I’ll write down my daily thoughts and badger people to read them.
5. If only there was a description for this process that doesnÂ’t involve the words egomaniac or unnecessary.
6. What? ItÂ’s called a blog? IÂ’m there!

The bloggerÂ’s philosophy goes something like this:

Everything that I think about is more fascinating than the crap in your head.

Which pretty much nails it.

And yes, he has a blog now.

Oddly, comments are enabled.

Sadly, trackbacks are not.

Regardless, this still puts him way ahead of commentless pseudo-bloggers like Glenn Reynolds, James Lileks, and Michele Malkin.
