Joel Biroco is typically bang on about the almost unbelievable “trend” of Blogs and ISSNs.

He puts it better than I could but the quest of legitimacy is utterly pointless and depressing. In all the AAA annual reports we used to put stuff in like “A CIP catalogue record of this book is available on Hampstead Heath” and made the statements about (anti-)copyright absurdly surreal and increasingly lengthy.

Stewart Home has a good take on the whole thing of authors “asserting their moral right” to be associated with their work in his Sabotage Editions pamphlets too.
