I've commented on your blog as well w/ my own research, as I'm sure you know by now. Hopefully that clears up 99% of it. And yes, lets agree to not create a blog-link-spiral and risk a blog-tornado. Thanks for the update, Bill.

(Um, I think you did add to my post, which, BTW, appears to be about a video from 2007, I'm not sure if the bill passed or not.)

I just realized I added no insight to that post at Polizeros. All I did was link to it, inform the 5 readers of my blog that don't come from Polizeros of the news and add some sarcastic comment to it. I didn't want to simply link to a post and add nothing either though. And I didn't want to provide such a dense summary as to steal hits from Polizeros either... What was the right thing to do there if I really didn't have that much more to add, but felt the need to spread awareness of the news? What a waste of precious Internet that was. I will have to avoid that in the future. ... the metacow Hmm. I just realized I added no insight to that post at Polizeros.

I didn't notice until after. But is that such a bad thing? I was mostly just trying to avoid doing the whole 'use someone else's product and I hope get a few hits for it' thing, but then I managed to sweatshop-knock-off someone's style by accident. I guess I have more room to err right now since I have absolutely no business model for this blog, and likely never will, but I guess it's good not to aim for what you can get away with but rather what you think is right (that was an unveiled shot at some of the objects of this post). I learned some years ago that doing what you could get away with wasn't very sporting. The amount of grey area available to be abused is too vast, and our vigilance (understandably) too low. ... the metacow I think I was trying to sound like Matt Taibbi there.
