Remember this: every time you allow yourself to publish a mediocre article, you lose a few potential fans (and maybe a few existing ones as well). And how many of them are actually worth being published at your blog? In their turn, lazy blog owners are often tempted by the chance to publish a ready­made article on their blog.
