[KI-LC] Kantara Blog

For myself, I would find it difficult to try to decide whether a 
particular flash of 'insight' should be sent to the Kantara blog or my own.

Separately, I suggest it is a mistake for KI to try to over control the 
'message'. We have experts to help us fine tine, I'd hope the KI blog 
wasn't overly (or overtly) managed.
