Flutterby™! :

I've fallen in with a rough crowd recently. All us web-loggers (hey, does that mean we clearcut the old growth pages?) are starting to get mightly self-referential. I don't know how many of my readers read other web logs, how much of this inbreeding gets noticed, but several of us do have quite a bit of original content. On The Bradlands a particularly good essay called "Respect Your Elders", perhaps a bit out of date, on Jocelyn Elder's dismissal, but well written.
