Jeebus, ogged. I realized it just after I posted. How could you possibly have responded that fast? Do you have access to some sort of Firefox (the plane, not the browser) response system?
My email program checks every minute, so you probably posted just before it checked, and I responded right after. What I don't understand is how fast people who don't get email notifications respond.
My stated doctrine is that I only engage in second-strike nitpicking, with certain rogue commenters (molfson) taken to be permanently in violation of the cease-fire.
I don't actually conform to this doctrine very well.
Can we admit (quietly, among ourselves) that Time naming Powerline "blog of the year" was the Best Thing Ever?

Yes, but I'd spell it Evar.

I'm doing a little use/mention dance here, hoping to attract the attention of Weiner.

Slightly OT: is the Poor Man a writer on some comedy show?
Posted by SomeCallMeTim | Link to this comment | 06-14-05 9:41 AM
I do see your trackback though.

He really should be. He's legitimately talented.
Posted by ogged | Link to this comment | 06-14-05 9:42 AM
Yes, but the trackback shouldn't be showing up on this post.
Posted by apostropher | Link to this comment | 06-14-05 9:44 AM
Ah, an interesting point. I'm going to call it user error and hope it doesn't happen again.
Posted by ogged | Link to this comment | 06-14-05 9:46 AM
No, I went back and checked the URL - definitely links to the Holy Cow post. I think it may be trackbacking to the top post on the page by default.

Here's a more complete list of best-selling albums. Shania Twain at #6? Who knew?
Posted by ogged | Link to this comment | 06-14-05 9:48 AM
I didn't say it was user error.

I have now read the "WWWA" announcement three times. Somehow, it strikes me as wrong that I'll never see it made into a short television skit.

Posted by SomeCallMeTim | Link to this comment | 06-14-05 10:20 AM
No, Gary and the Poor Man both have gout.

I see the new hosting company is located further to the east.
Posted by ben wolfson | Link to this comment | 06-14-05 10:31 AM
I assume they have a tabbed browser, and just keep it refreshing in the background as they do other work. That's what I do.
Posted by SomeCallMeTim | Link to this comment | 06-14-05 10:31 AM
people who don't get email notifications
I use my telepathy helmet.

Yeah, I think they're in NY.

Er, "as they do work." Reading unfogged is not part of work, reading unfogged is not part of work, unfogged is not part of work.

I think they're in the mountains.

Damn. That's what I've been doing wrong.

Damn, I'm fairly surprised at that top 50 list. I own none of those albums.
Posted by Michael | Link to this comment | 06-14-05 11:06 AM
Michael, you and I both posted in the wrong thread.
Posted by ogged | Link to this comment | 06-14-05 11:09 AM
I'm following your lead: I can't be held accountable for you dancing me into the wrong thread.
Posted by Michael | Link to this comment | 06-14-05 11:14 AM
I don't blame you; I'm grateful for the company.
Posted by ogged | Link to this comment | 06-14-05 11:15 AM
The tragic folly of misposting is best played as a duet.
