Do you have to talk about Canada to be a Canadian blogger??

Apparently you do. I was rudely told by a series of Canadian blog indices that I don't have enough references to Canada on my blog to qualify as a Canadian blogger.

Curious, one would have thought being born and bred in Canada would qualify. And then there was this absurd threat of billing (legally in Canada) if you were trying to spoof them into thinking you are a Canadian blog when you are not.

So what, who cares. Index the damn thing and be done with it. Is it not simply better to index any submission then let people look for the relative content that they are seeking?

Too many rules in this area of the blog-o-sphere.

And I thought it was going to be like the wild west out here, not grade 4.
