Really sad to hear such a comment. I'll delete all my posts and will remove my blog from Codeproject RSS feed.

Bring 'em back. My blogs also appeared severly mangled, and Chris and Co sorted them out for me. Please don't deprive CP of them just because a technical SNAFU got in the way.

Hey Hans,
I went through his blog : http://weseetips.com/[^]
It's not earth shattering stuff, but they seem to be pretty normal blog entries. Perhaps the CP code didn't pull the entire content and may have just got the first few sentences?
Anyway the guy has removed all his blog entries stung by your feedback, so I guess there's no point in discussing this now

I actually like his blog.

Well, for one thing, you're trying to put your article text into the DESCRIPTION. Pay attention to what you're doing.

I've just added my RSS feed to technical blog. I've done nothing else. Well, how can i correct it? Any idea?

John, he's not doing that - it's all automated by CodeProject server side code that pulls content via the RSS feeds and converts them into articles.

Okay Chris. I hope the new RSS reader will be alive soon. So could you please delete my incomplete entries before getting published? Thanks a lot!
BTW, my blog is hosted in Wordpress.com.
Thanks & Regards,
Jijo.

I'll have Sean clean it out.
WordPress is the main feed we've seen that uses a feed that our reader doesn't like.

Hey Chris,
You'll soon find (or rather Thiru and Sean will, assuming they are working on this) that WordPress has several active versions out there, and each with its own quirks. The WordPress site itself uses the latest stable version, but 3rd party blogs and self-hosted blogs will have any of several versions.
I would suggest an intermediate step where it goes this way :
Step 1 : CP pulls the content
Step 2 : Author gets a shot at editing it
Step 3 : Entry goes live on CP
This would allow people to fix things, specially formatting.

Would it be possible to add a (n optional) setting telling users' citizenship ? We have often the case of people coming originally from one country (citizenship) and working in another one (location), and I think it would be interesting if in the bio they could provide both information using the flags.
I hope this does not break any privacy rule.
|

Note that it still won't tell you someone's ethnic origin. For example, there are US citizens of Indian origin working in Canada. So their location will say Canada, citizenship will say USA but their ethnic origin will be neither.

Never heard of someone in that situation  
Seriously, yes, you are right. I actually meant what you call "ethnic origin", what IMO tells in most cases more about the culture of the people I am writing to than his current citizenship. On the other hand, the contrary must sometimes also be true (citizenship explains more about one's opinions than his/her origin). But three flags in the settings would definitely be too much...

There are quite a few such folks
And just this last weekend I met a Canadian citizen of Indian origin who recently moved to the States.

Well, ethnic origin won't really tell you much about someone's cultural values. For example, again using Indians as example, first generation Indian immigrants may retain some of their Indian-ness, but their kids will basically behave like typical American kids. The only thing it will tell you is what ethnic origin or racial group a person is from.
Again there are various factors that affect this. Some people do not fuse their values easily with their adopted country's values - and this sometimes reflect on their kids too. But my experience has been that 2nd gen Indians (and probably other Asians too) are highly unlikely to retain any values or social patterns from their ethnic culture.
I don't know if Chris would want to go that route, but it would certainly be interesting - though it would be more FaceBook-ish rather than LinkedIn-ish, if you get what I mean.

The general rule of thumb in the US is 3 generations for total assimilation. eg children of Asian/Caribbean/African immigrants score well above average academically. Grandchildren of Asian immigrants OTOH basically fall to same level as white natives, while the latter groups grandkids plummet all the way to the dismal level of the general black populace.
Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly". Remember kids, don't attribute to racism what can be explained by Scandinavian language roots.

I guess you have to wait for a generation where the kid fails high school math and prefers his PS3 to reading a book to finally be sure that assimilation is now complete.

based on the pattern I've seen I think the parents crack the whip enough that even while mostly assimilated they can't get away with that sort of crap, but since the kids don't care personally they don't crack the whip at the grandkids.

I know, hence the smileys  (I think you talked about your own experience, didn't you ? I think I can remember you being in Canada for a bit of time).
In fact, I was taking about my own case: I am french, but I am crossing the border every day to work in Germany. Which makes some people quite astonished that I know much about France while my bio stating my location is Germany. So I thought citizenship could add a bit of information...
But your argumentation is true, and if we could avoid being Facebook-ish, let it be !
