Formalising bloogers

Bloggers Consider Forming Labor Union: this, to me, seems like a really bad idea. The whole point of bloogs, I thought, was its freewheeling, anarchist nature. I guess with the number of people attempting to earn a living off them, turning them into mainstream media (as such), it’s only natural for them to want it to have benefits like a regular job.

Which sucks for the rest of us. Does this mean that those who do not follow the ‘rules’ (that will / have inevitably emerge(d)) will be ostracised as ‘unprofessional’ in future?

Hell, I like being unprofessional.
