Agreed.

What I challenge is the idea that most posts/comments here ought to make good cover blurbs.

If I need a cover blurb, it seems more productive to say "Hey, I need a cover blurb, any recommendations?" than to point to arbitrary contributions and say "This isn't a very good cover blurb."

My turn to agree. What can I say, I got emotional when it seemed to me like everyone chose to nitpick Luke's advice rather than heed it.

My question remains: can LW produce Blurb Ninjas?

Cool; glad we got that cleared up.

As for Blurb Ninjas... see comment elsewhere for my thoughts on how to encourage that.
