Should I feel insulted?

Today I got this in the mail:

    Congratulations! You are the recipient offour and a half out of eight Sutherlandsfrom our gratuitously indignant reviewingduo at Blog You! Blog You! Blog You!, aconsumer's guide to weblogs.To see how you stacked up, feel free tovisit:http://www.blogyou.com

Of course I realize that blogyou is probably just a ploy to create a meme, sending email to hundreds of blogs telling them how they rate, so the bloggers will bitch/gloat and link to the site either way (err, oops).

What gets me is I don't know whether to bitch or gloat. According to their email I got 'four and a half out of eight Southerlands' however a visit to the site uncovers a 1-4 Southerland Scale, which would make 4.5 spectacular instead of middling. The good news is that I don't write this blog for 'consumers' so I really don't care.

On the other hand, I give blogyou a rating of 3 on the Fury Web Scale, only I'm not saying what it's out of. That's for you to decide.

If you like it, please share it.
