I saw this project come up in the new projects feed, and it sounded very similar to blog module.

Then I compared the codebase to blog module...
http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules--blog--blog.module/6/source
http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/modules/usernews/us...

.. and it's clear that the code is almost direct cut and paste from blog.module too. Please could you explain what the differences are between the projects, and why this requires a fork of blog module.

Oh -- yes absolutely (sorry about that). Do you want me to post the diff's here or on the project page? (Diffs are pretty minor as you said, but I didn't want to hack core and so I figured I'd share it since my goal is to integrate it with E-Publish eventually). Just let me know... Thanks!

It's not so much a matter of seeing the diffs, it's about understanding the motivation and the benefit brought by this project.

Can you express your motivation for it?

Thank you for the clarification, Greg.

I've updated the project page... Hope that's (at least kind of) what was expected of me...? If not, let me know.

*PS - Not changing issue status at this time, as I don't know if it's actually been "fixed" or not.*

The main motivation seems to be avoiding the "Username's blog" link in node links. In that case, it would be easy enough to add a dependency on blog.module, then hook_link_alter() that link away, and add your own in.
