Maggie – shoot, now I feel like even more of a jerk than I want to be. There’s a box on your blog for “Trackbacks” that seems never to have any other blogs listed. You probably have to approve trackback links – there’s a lot of spam blogs out there – but I don’t know what that process should look like for you. When I get trackbacks, they show up as comments – they get emailed to me – but that’s Wordpress, and it looks like you’re using Typepad (?).

This might not be exclusive to me: I noticed Kevin MD linked to a post of yours, and you didn’t get a trackback from that, either. I suspect Kevin is pro enough that he tried to send you the trackback, but somehow it didn’t get through.

By the way, I appreciate you following up on this. Thanks much.

Duncan–

I’m sorry I didn’t acknowledge your “trackbacks”– I didn’t see it.
Where would it show up?

I know – and sometimes it’s fun to bitch and moan more than is really called for. I’m not really angry at Nurse Ratched. Spam filters, on the other hand….

Dear Duncan Cross (Sounds like a pub in Britain),

Blogs are just for fun! Really!
