Warning - Blogging May Be Hazardous to Your Health and Even Cause Death! (at least according to NYT)

Amusing article on the hazards and potential life threatening risks of blogging. It's getting much ridicule in the blogosphere and deservedly so. I just don't even know where to start, as if blogging by nature is somehow more stressful and requires more effort than any other profession. Perhaps it's a missive why bloggers shouldn't try to be journalists, the hazards are too great? Perhaps it's to set up a future class action law suit for the companies building weblog software? (will future versions of WordPress come with a warning label, much as tobacco products do?)

Not sure what the Times was thinking by publishing the article, but in the words of Dorothy Parker, it should not be tossed aside lightly, but rather thrown with great force.
