And, I guess, the reason you don't is you don't relish the thought of
being used without permission or credit?

That's right. Now I only post non-information.

You've encouraged me to open my box of Ceslestial Seasoning green tea
with lemon to see if I really want it to be there taking up space. In
the jar, it smells like lemonade, which isn't bad for July. I'll
report back. I saw at the grocery store 100 teabags for a dollar. I
don't think I'll try that. Toci

One of my posts was mentioned. I do not like how you wrote "from the
Twinings Tea Blog," as it suggests that I am somehow writing *for*
you, which I am most certainly not. If you were truly interested in
sharing my post, not just driving up your site's traffic, you would
have linked to the original source rather than your own site.

Everybody's tea blog is on there, it seems. It's Twinings Canadian
website that is using a blog aggregator to catch tea blog posts from
quite a few different sources. There are links to the original blog
and original blog posts on the site. When you click the "print" button
though, you can see the full post without going to the original blog.

If other tea-related websites want to use blog aggregators, guess you
can't blame them for that.
