I really didn't have anything interesting to say other than telling you I thought this was something you would like to read. James of Outside the Beltway analyzes why* some posts get more comments and links than others, especially the navel gazing posts.**
*I did reflect on the purpose of my blogging. I do it for all my adoring readers, all 3 of them . . . whoever they are . . . those nameless faces and faceless names in all world and I had to walk in here. Hello Rick.***
