Thank you for sharing, as a fellow financial blogger I know the challenges you face. Just know that you are not the only one who has to read & re-read his posts…I have to do the same thing & English is my first language!

I’ll be around Moolanomy more & more as time goes by. PS…thanks for visiting Debt Free Adventure!

I think we are in the midst of a major shift in information source. It used to be that our single source of information was the morning newspaper, information filtered by that one source. Then came radio, enabling us to have more than one source. Then came television. Then came the local newspapers. Then came the internet which allowed us to look at other local newspapers. Then came bloggers. We can clearly see the shift is leaning towards the grassroots level.

During each shift, the “new” source of information would always be deemed not as accurate as the proceeding larger source. During the transition period, that is true. Kinks were being worked out by the pioneers. If looked at this way, then I’d say we are in the transition period to having bloggers as a reliable source of information. That is why I said that yes, I think Pinyo is right in saying that he is only sharing information, not advice. But I think Pinyo is one of the pioneers in this shift. I think in the future, however, bloggers will be held to a higher standard whether they like it or not, and will hold greater responsibility.

I realize I don’t have a fully solid and coherent argument yet; but this is something that just pounds in the back of my head. Does anybody see things this way too? What do you guys think?

@Ken – Thank you for the feedback.

@VH – That’s a huge compliment. I do work very hard at getting things right — so hard work do pay off.

@Andy – Hmm…mission statement. I like that. May be I should update my almost 2 years old About page.

@Anne – Thank you.

Not only that, but I sure have learned a lot about money topics from you!
