But that's just it... to me, they're all just "goofy quizzes". I don't think any of them say anything about who I am. I do them to entertain myself, pure and simple.
As for how others use their LJ. Your LJ is just that: YOURS. What you choose to do with it is up to you. Nobody is forcing anybody to read their LJ so there's no point in ranting about it. If you don't like what you're reading, stop reading it.
I do agree that the authors of the quizzes should credit the artists of any artwork / song / poem etc that they use in said quizzes. That's just common courtesy and kind of the law for copyrighted materials. But don't forget about GPLs. There are plenty of sites out there with artwork that is free for general use (i.e. non-commercial) where the user does not have to credit the artist. Granted, the most popular are clip art, but I'm just playing devil's advocate here.
(And I haven't forgotten about what we discussed in email, I just haven't had time to get it all together yet. I should have it to you by this
