When is a post not a post?

Deane over at Gadgetopia has an extended post (article? essay? story?) delving into the complexities of how to treat blog posts which transcend time, sort of.

On the surface, and to most people, this probably seems like a trivial issue. But if you go back through your own blog archives (assuming that you are a blogger... which I suspect most of my readers are), I'm sure that you'll mentally separate the wheat from the chaff, with the former being the really good stuff that you put some thought, time and energy into, while the latter might resemble the doodlings you create waiting for something interesting to happen on "The Joe Schmoe Show."

While I'd like to think that everything that goes into the Gazette is primo wisdom-for-the-ages stuff, I know better (and so do you). Creating a separate blog or even a separate category for "the good stuff" would be like putting a set of Cragar mags on my poor little Plymouth Neon. You can do it, but why?

Still, Deane raises some points worth considering.
