One moment in the blogger’s corner at Sapphire06 last week, I overheard the execution of Jeff Nolan and Julia French on getting a little “link love,” for us bloggers (I’m almost there to fitting in). This struck me as quite hilarious, though it’s not like I haven’t received “let’s crosslink” email, or that I’m clueless on the nuances of collaborative separations in the real world (ever hear of the separation of church and state or editorial and advertising?).

Well, it happens naturally. A number of the bloggers have listed and linked the other bloggers, and now Charlie has really nailed the experience of being in the pen together with a blogger corner’s link love letter. And though his toast toward me is certainly, well, nuanced, I’m grinning sheepishly. There’s a secret coded message in that last line.

Well, Charlie, let me just say, now, I’ve decided, in fact today, and you needn’t worry that I’ll have nothing to say next time.
