"A Smoker Can Quit... but a sanctimonious git will probably remain so."^[*]

A complete non-sequitur - the above was merely one of the first Google matches for the phrase "sanctimonious git", which was what came to mind when I read a certain digerati's latest blog entry (Yes, via aggregator), which concludes

"But really, you should ask yourself if you need to keep up with 100 or 200 or 1400 different ?sources? of ?content? on an hourly basis. Shouldn?t you be spending more time with your family or something? Or, if you don?t have a family, shouldn?t you be spending time building one?"

Coming from somebody with more than 200 matches for the word "aggregator" on their site, that's just annoying.

I appreciate that having a new infant around will cause one's priorities to shift, but there's no need to get all high and mighty about it. My goodness, this has been a snarky post - such is usually not my nature (not on per-person basis, anyway), but that really rubbed me the wrong way for some reason.
