Since the pingbacks won’t tow my line I rebel by posting not a free-write but a more detailed deliberation. It’s still worth a look I think and it’s for a good cause so I don’t feel too bad about shamelessly promoting it here…

I can’t believe the pingbacks are still not working. Two days in a row. That’s a new low. Here’s my link. I should just give up. A year ago, you had hundreds of entries for this. Now, on a good day, you’re lucky to get a couple of dozen and if this keeps up, you’ll have none.
An genuine, card-carrying exercise in futility.
