Actually, no we haven't. The post to which you link is wrong and I think offensive. (As I have said in the comments to it, ditto on Reading Matters). There is no link on the "thinking blogger" logo, as I checked out before I posted it on my blog, and as CFR says in the comments to the post to which you link.
The "thinking blogger" meme has introduced me to some blogs I didn't know about before. It makes a change from some of these silly aut-generated "what colour green are you" or "here's a list of books I've read" posts that you see everywhere. Why are these people so down on a meme that is at worst harmless and at best introducing people to sime interesting new blogs?
For my part, I have a nasty person called "thomas" commenting on my blog about this, which i could well do without, though I haven't censored him (yet!).
Sorry, Frank, if I came over as too "schoolmarmy". I just was taken aback by the negative posts about this particular meme or award or whatever you call it, as it certainly has content related to it, unlike many of these memes. It is funny how, in the blog world, you can just never know what some people are going to get het up about. Sorry again if I over-reacted, and thanks for the additional clarification you provided, much appreciated (and your comment to mr Doubting T. on my blog!)
I don't think you over-reacted at all, Maxine. I should have investigated further before posting. And no, you did not come across as school-marmy. And I should know: I'm married to a school marm.

Aha! I should have waited until you weighed in, Maxine. Thanks for setting us all straight.
