Dear Abby: Help me, I blog!

With "Dear Abby" answering questions about weblogs, the form has certainly hit the mainstream... even if the example is a 14-year-old wondering how much to say about friends in her chatty diary weblog, rather than an example as meaningful or useful as, say, this one.

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/030708/155/4m511.html

If Yahoo's copy of the July 8 column is still available, however, notice that Abby's technique is slightly weblog-like... She answers the question by drawing a link to another reader's loosely-related letter about the dangers of letting bits of your personal life float out into cyberspace... although his point has more to do with bits floating around on company time (and company hardware).
