Well, I'm back.

And, upon looking at the umpteen million comments to a a zillion different posts*, I'm not gonna even try to catch up; I'm sure that I'll be suitably apprised of anything absolutely vital for me to see. As usual, some excellent posts.

Expect to hear the solitary call of the right-winged, pink-nosed** blogger to start up again tomorrow. I've got a ton of mail to sort through, not to mention roughly half a week's worth of various and sundry Internet comics.

UPDATE: OK, I understand that one of the advantages of a group blog is that people can take little breaks and everything without it affecting content, but this is just slapping me in the face with a halibut. 3,000+? Great googley moogley.

If I had a policy of using emoticons in my main posts, there'd be a smiley after the paragraph above.

*These numbers not necessarily accurate.

**Silly me, to forget sunblock before going out on a dune to hangglide. Even if it was March.

Moe, that spike is mostly due to the trackbacks to Katherine's world-class reporting on the Clarke interview and testimony.

Katherine's world-class reporting on the Clarke interview and testimony.

Indeed. Katherine's reporting got picked up at all sorts of different places.

Well done.

Are you saying there is a correlation to you being away and the blog becoming wildly hit upon - and you returning and the blog hit numbers going back to normal?

[praktike]

you were missed. There was also still a lot of traffic around Von's LGF post, I think.

[Edward]

good call Praktike. Yes, that thread shattered the record for comments I believe and was cited on dozens of sites.

"Are you saying there is a correlation to you being away and the blog becoming wildly hit upon - and you returning and the blog hit numbers going back to normal?"

It must be admitted that a quick and dirty assessment would support the hypothesis. :)
