Alright, Glenn Reynolds, we’re gonna fight. I’ve been plugging away at this blogging thing for, err, four years now. I don’t send you an email every time I post. In fact, I’ve probably only sent you about 10 or 15 emails total ever. And I do that when it’s something I think needs broad exposure. For example, I appreciate when you linked to my story on Barrett Rifles and media bias. I emailed you the link. Thanks. But most of the times you’ve linked here and driven some major traffic my way, it wasn’t because I asked you to (go ahead, search your email archives, I’ll wait) but because you saw it somewhere else. And I appreciate the 20 plus instalanches in my time blogging.

I don’t pester you. I don’t beg for the mighty insty link. In fact, barring some big to do, I don’t ask for links from anyone. I plug away, and my readers found me. But everytime I write something over at No Silence Here, you link to it. See, look.

Now, that’s cool and I appreciate being more widely read. But if you like me so much, would it kill you to read my blog. It’s here. You might find other stuff you like. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad you like what you see enough over at No Silence Here to link to it but if you’d throw a link to my blog regularly, that’d be good too. I mean, maybe your readers are also libertarian-leaning, gun nuts with a penchant for politically incorrect dogs. And, well, I have to clean some posts up on occasion so they’re palatable to the Knoxville News Sentinel. You’re denying your readers the full uncle. You even said before you should link to me more often.

And Michael Silence, being the smarty pants he is, thinks this is funny. He always thanks me for the Instalanche.
