- Savvy: Whatever is said on the blogs shall not be taken as gospel truth....

Eleet you wish! Thanks for the post.
Joy well said.
Ciku,
Thanks for the much-nneded SERMON. We need reflection on these DECEPTIVE shores of ours. All around us are schemers will eyes singularly trained on anything but honesty.
But come to think of it. All these values and virtues are nothing but DOGMA albeit disguised. Are we as human beings so weak-hearted such that instead of confronting challenges we hide under platitudes while gracing the pulpit? Not judgemental though, just curious.
Nice commandments
might be the next :
You shall not write people blog lol
Oops, do we really need commandments for blogs? Or should blogging be a free for all? Or should we just ban blogs after all (cfr. Andrew Keen's book "The Cult of the Amateur")
I shall try and keep all of them.
Leet thanks for the additional commandment.
Rafiki blogosphere like any other place is a mix of different people and we need some sort of system hahaha. Thou Shall not leave blogosphere for a whole week!
Maua they're said to be close to the real thing so we shall not have a very tough time following them. Personally I have to work on that bit about the Sabbath. That I'm guilty.
Taabu Tele a sermon is needed every once in a while ama? Lol.
Ok I need to repent!
lol, i love these commandments...i dotn know how many i've broken though...
Neema girl where have you been! Ok I think I know - Something to do with Latino? You've broken the commandment of staying out of blogosphere for too long although it was not in the original list.
