You only have to write about the interesting stuff and you can leave the crappy stuff for the references.<br /><br />Most of my favourite blog posts are when people write about an interesting result they've read or talk they've seen at a conference.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328185728688465505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068183698747623113.post-42565493172716386062011-11-13T20:35:03.572-05:002011-11-13T20:35:03.572-05:00Yes.
