Permission Denied...


WARNING – THIS IS A RANT – IF YOU DON’T WANT TO READ IT – STOP READING NOW!!


OK - this has been bothering me for a while -

And - mind you -

This is only my opinion -

And I could be wrong -

But -

I was checking my stats the other day –

And saw a new blog listed under “Referring URLs” and “Referring Sites” -

When I see new referral sites –

Sometimes I want to visit them –

Just to see how/why they are referring readers to me –

I’m curious –

What are they saying about me?

Do they have one of my buttons?

What?

So –

Here I am one day – and I click on the “link” –

And – this is what I got -

BLOGGER: PERMISSION DENIED

This blog is open to invited readers only
(site address – blogspot.com – deleted for this rant)
It doesn't look like you have been invited to read this blog. If you think this is a mistake, you might want to contact the blog author and request an invitation.

EXCUSE ME!?!?!?

Now – I admit – I may be overreacting –

And I don’t want to start a war or anything –

AND – this is just my opinion –

BUT –

There was something about that message that rubbed me the WRONG way!!

Let me see if I got this right –

You can read my blog –

And refer other readers to my blog –

Thanks, by the way - ;)) -

BUT –

I need an INVITATION to read yours??

Say what??

And how exactly do I “contact the blog author and request an invitation” –

If I don’t know who the hell it is?

And who says I would even want to request an invitation anyway?

I don’t know anything about it -

And apparently can’t find out - either -

And what makes your blog so special that only INVITED READERS can read it?

OK – I’ll stop now –

The blogger is probably a real nice lady –

And has her reasons for limiting her readership to invitation only –

But – that REALLY rubbed me the wrong way!!

Can you tell?? ;))



Talk to you later – gotta go – gotta sew -
