That would be true if you only read one blog, and it carried no commentary.
It is absolutely correct that each blog reflects its author, but first of
all, many blogs enable comments, and second, there is an aggregate
communication comprised of every blog post on a topic, fueled by
delivery/discovery tools such as RSS, Technorati, social bookmarking, etc. I
think it often results in broader, more thoughtful points of view than list
traffic.
