Sometimes what I'll do is blend it as normal in Photomatix, then take the middle exposure and paste it on top as a separate layer, then use whatever blending options make the most sense for that...

If you want to get picky about semantics, then there isn't a single HDR image on this thread, just tone-mapped jpgs.
I'm not a fan of the "pseudo" term when the workflow I used to create this...
