blogs can have many posters.
Our site has many posters, each thread is a new article on the blog.
The other post are comments to that article.
What is the difference?

blogs are more dedicated to a single or group of authors. that's mostly about it.

in message boards, the repliers have more weight to their comments as well and the setup is more structured. the message board is more about the community, while a blog is like posting a news article as the primary motive (what's the difference between cnn online and ronpaulforums, other than the obvious iq brackets?)

guess you could ask just as well, "what's the difference between a van full of friends and a metrobus?".

Plus, Heritage is endorsed by all the big neocons! :eek::p (Hannity, Limbaugh, etc) I see no reason for them to be on the list.

Quantitative difference, not qualitative difference.

Not likely that Freedom Domain Radio would be listed either. I haven't looked at the list so I don't know but I do know that mainstream [neo] Libertarians are/have distanced themselves from that "fringe" group of anarchists/voluntaryists that, pre-bob barr, associated themselves with the non-aggression axiom that was a pillar of libertarianism.

no its quantitative differences.
the quality of traits are the same, the only difference is the scale.
A van load of friends, a bus load of people. quantitative.
A few authors posting content with comments added by others (blogs) and many authors posting a lot of content with many more comments added by others (forum). quantitative.

Class dismissed.
