Apparently, Jamie and Caroline were responsible for a now-defunct blog called &#8216;The Spin Starts Here&#8217; (originally titled &#8216;The spin starts here darl&#8217;), established in October 2002 and ceasing publication in April 2007. The blog&#8217;s authors are rather um, &#8216;critical&#8217; of Jamie and Clive&#8217;s blogging activities, claiming that TSSH was responsible for all kinds of scurrilous and damaging <a href=\"http:\/\/anonymouslefty.blogspot.com\/2006\/10\/kamikaze-commenting.html\">attacks<\/a> upon other bloggers whom the pair happened to dislike.<\/p>\n<p>3) <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boudist.com\/\"><strong>boudist<\/strong><\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Boudist is Daniel Boud&#8217;s personal website.
