Hi ek,

Interesting, however "Published by Eurostar, the company that runs the Channel Tunnel trains ..." makes me wonder how authentic these blogs are.

I've just spent an hour visiting the blog..and it's really good! Lots of links to various website, the categories lists make it easy to find what you want, and the comment sections are amusing and inormative.

Ira, if you read the article carefully, you will see that it discusses three web sites; two of which have no connection to Eurostar.

"Published by Eurostar, the company that runs the Channel Tunnel trains between Paris and London, visitors to the site can check out the voices of After8..."

The syntax of the above excerpt states that visitors to the site are published by Eurostar. I find that difficult to believe. What ever happened to journalism?

As Eleanor Clift's editor used to mark her copy, &quot;<b>Say better</b>.&quot;

Spot on!

The article continues to discuss web sites for visitors NOT published by Eurostar!
