Thanks to the referrer script that runs at the bottom of the left column of this blog, I can discover that I get linked to by the most odd and interesting people.
Recent Bluessky Posts- So many fundraising texts begin, "You won't believe what" X said or did, followed by a URL promising to reveal whatever. Plonk. Either you think I'm a credulous idiot, or I indeed won't believe it, or I will, but in any case I'm not playing. August 15, 2026 Michael Froomkin

- It's funny how relatable small stuff, be it pen thieving, reflecting pool shenanigans, firing black seamstresses in order to hire sole source contractors for twice as much money, are the kind of details that stick in the public consciousness with any luck bring down much bigger crooks. Great ad BTW. August 14, 2026 Michael Froomkin

I’m one of those on your referrer list and yes they are interesting. I have noticed a pattern. It is not as intense as it used to be, I tihnk because the novelty of blogging is wearing off. Anyway the pattern is that sometimes if I list a blog on my page, my pages are then checked out, usually by an astute blogger. Then I notice their weblog becoming slightly altered or I see a rash of entries in response to content on my pages. Or I see them picking ideas, thinking about a piece of information and then later on communicating it as a keyword or phrase to represent their point of view or opinion.
Do you see that? I’m not saying I am influencing people and changing their thoughts however refferer links are very memetic.
I always enjoy your blog.
Nice software list you have there…
