Last week I did a blog entry looking at the debate surrounding Tim O'Reilly's proposal for a bloggers' code of conduct.

After the uproar, O'Reilly has now come out and said he has scrapped the plan.

In an interview in Wired magazine, O'Reilly concedes it was probably a dumb idea. "I've come to think the call for a code of conduct was a bit misguided."

Still, it gave him lots of coverage and publicity.

I got me a badge!!! It took many minutes slogging to achieve this high accolade. A blogging booklet will be available, for a small fee, upon request.
