So your complaint is not that they don't archive blogs, but that they don't list it first among that which they archive?

I wrote a blog post that explains my point of view, it's linked to at the beginning of this thread.

And as esonderegger pointed out, your second point is incorrect. I also think your second point is the crux of your points; that is, everything you said assumes that the Library of Congress favors Twitter over blogs. How does that change your point of view?

Okay you're making an editorial/legal objection, you'd like me to find a way to merge the note in with the first part. Consider it done.

We need a new acronym to go with IANAL, something like TIJABP -- This Is Just A Blog Post.

Considering how important you think blogging is, I'm surprised you don't feel the same about the quality of the content.
