Hi pugdog,
Thanks for your feedback
I must say that having worked on some high-end products like StoryServer I have always seen Links as a CMS product in the making but as you pointed out GT does not seem to see it that way. The GT libraries are not something I have a good knowledge of but I agree that they do a terrific job.
I do feel as if it has been a battle to get the idea of blog functionality across.
However, that said, I am very happy with the site that I have recently launched, I owe a lot to GT. I have stood beside GT because of the community spirit they help prosper and the quality of their products and services. Through this community I was able to work with GT, but with you pugdog and Andy and Laura and several other very helpful people. My site wouldn't be what it is today without everybody's help and I suppose you're right that some people do have a bigger impact on the way Links is seen, used and evolves from a functional point of view and all this effort has lead to a very interesting product.
My overall opinion is that Links is a great product and I would love to help GT offer a real blog solution to Links users. Taking it at face value you see that others offer it for free and therefore there is no money in it. The free offering part is just a misconception with regards to the power it provides by creating and providing content that in turn is attractive for advertisers just to start with. It also helps with search engines since the content is more than often original etc.
And as both you and Jack know I don't roll over and give up in the face of adversity so I'm far from giving up on the idea...
