I’m fairly sure that there are easier ways of passing a message to me than by getting someone else to post it on their blog. The "send John B email" link to the right of this article, for example.

That said, I do prefer the blog-based communication method – just as I preferred the silly theory about Al Qaeda communicating by hidden messages in porn JPGs to the boring truth about prepaid mobile phones. I might well stop checking all my email accounts, and tell my friends and colleagues that they may now only communicate with me via other people’s blogs…

Digresionally, and as usual, the Onion is spot on. Completely spot on.
