Sad Day in the Blogosphere

Tom Mangan, who penned the popular journo blog Prints the Chaff, has called it quits. Tom writes:

Some of you probably saw this coming: Increasingly infrequent posts, taking three weeks off for three days' work, etc.

Well, as Freddie Mercury once said, it's time to leave you all behind and face the truth. Which is, I don't want to do this anymore. It's taking too much time away from people and other stuff I care more about. And besides, the place I'm moving to has only dialup access, and daily blogging at 33k is madness.

I'd rather do this right or not at all -- that is, post every day and give the topic the time it deserves, rather than let it whither or fade into irrelevance. Burnout vs. rust, as Neil Young would put it.
