When is a review not a review? The other day, clicking through to Michael Coveney’s review of Oliver! from Mark Shenton’s blog, I was surprised to discover that beneath the piece was a comment box where various members of the public were venting their barely literate umbrage at his less-than-ecstatic write-up.As I’ve said before, I’m a big fan of blogs and blogging.

A conversation on Twitter about spurious “Buddha” quotes (”The Buddha said…” followed by something the Buddha probably never said) reminded me of coming across a quote attributed to the Buddha that was apparently something that Elvis Presley said. And that reminded me of an interesting page which has all but vanished from the internet, but which was thankfully preserved by Archive.org. The original page vanished in 2002.
