Winer watching watch

Scott Rosenberg in Salon on the spat between Dave Winer and Dive Into Mark's Mark Pilgrim. Pilgrim's site includes a Winer Watcher that document's Winer's many alterations to the content of his blog. Winer wants him to stop. Rosenberg feels that Winer's method of public self-editing is just a different form of journalism to that practiced by those of us steeped in more traditional media, and that it may be entirely appropriate to blogging. He doesn't, however, explore why Winer himself is unhappy to see this new method in practice. Furthermore there is little analysis of the legal implications of this public method.
