I think initially it was less hassle to syndicate than to have his own site, but now he's set one up . . . domains are cheap, and I imagine he enjoys the flexibility of being able to present pieces as he wishes.
We could perhaps syndicate them, if Grubbs wanted us to (though given his past interaction with and response to Flayrah's audience, I'm dubious). I still have an aversion to them as news content, in part because they regularly promote a single person's opinion on wide-ranging personal topics on which they may not be qualified to give advice.
I'd suggest people ask professionals (where appropriate), or their friends; at least they'd get multiple opinions, and research suggests they might trust them more coming from friends or authorities in the field.
The only advice column I read regularly is that of The Onion, which avoids this issue by not actually giving advice.
