   Just another example of the intelligence level of your average blogger.

   From his story in the articles on this I've read, I find it plausible--that he was in an alcoholic blackout with no recollection of what happened, that the driver told him he had grabbed the wheel and he believed it and felt guilty enough to "confess." However, I also find it unlikely that the driver lied to him in the state she was reportedly in at the time, so this in no way states that he wasn't guilty--only that he was telling the truth when he said he couldn't remember what had happened.

   True about eh intelligence of your average blogger. Couldnt agree more. I was prepared to type about 13 paragraphs on the stupidity, but figured your line covers it pretty well.

   On the other hand... blogs are personal, and you should be able to talk about most everything on your _own_ website if you feel like it.
   But in this case, it might have been better if he wrote it in an actual diary.

   Yet another item that I can add to my "Idiot things that people do" list.

   One should always assume that if its on the web it will be read. So either keep access private or dont type it.

   Even so, writing it in your diary would still be a risk.

   Blog and tell can be pretty helpful

   A few years back, I worked at a book store. We had a number of computer games disappearing from our racks, and were having a difficult time figuring out where they were going.
   
   Then one day somebody happened on a blog that talked about our store in specific. How they were getting the video games out of the store.
   
   Once we discovered the exact MO, we knew how to catch them. I think we ended up catching three or four before they caught onto to the fact that we were on to them.
   
   Talk about sweet justice.

    No, diaries are personal. Blogs are exhibitionism.

    Whatsup with the dates??

    FTA: "Coker lay in a coma at Orlando Regional Medical Center until he died Jan. 11."
    
    So the story is posted on December 21, 2005. Right now its only December 22, 2005. And the driver died on January 11?????? HUH????? He died (past tense) on Jan. 11 (in the future).
    
    Even the orlandosentinel, which the AP article references, has the same dates.

    Try paying attention next time you read the article:
    Blake Ranking wrote "I did it" on his blurty.com journal three days after the October 2004 crash that caused a friend's death and left another seriously injured

    We are all exhibitionists...just look at what you are all doing: commenting on the personal anguish of someone you don't even know or have the intelligence to even contemplate what he might be going through. The idiotic things that people do - get over yourselves.

    Blogs suck. People who kill their friends suck. Idiots who kill their friends then blog about it suck twice over. I doubt whether he's going through very much, he obviously hasn't enough brain to suffer.
