Damn, now I am Glenn Reynolds

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.***

**Gawd, I don't have any of those, do I?****

***OK, OK. I probably messed that up, but you get the drift. Hey, inane thoughts just come out the way you remember them.

****Oh Lordie, I do...*****

*****I bet you wouldn't catch Glenn Reynolds posting any navel gazing posts.

So what's your navel looking like these days?

A damn site less pretty than I want it to be.

Heh. Glenn does quite a bit of navel gazing, of course. Although, granted, he really doesn't write that much these days--it's mainly just "So and so said something. Interesting. Read the rest. Heh."

He has a legion of footsoldiers who send interesting things to him, and then he just picks out a random quote and up it goes.

He's an editor more than a writer. Fortunately, he's a pretty good editor.
