Actually, glosses.net was the way that I discovered your site, LH. Damn lucky I did, too, because I must've put the evil eye on her, and she closed up shop shortly thereafter. I've no idea, though, where I found out about glosses.net. Thus your weblog-linking genealogy is incomplete (in the mind of one reader).
Posted by Nathaniel at March 1, 2004 06:08 AMYou probably know, but maybe your readers don't, that Cinderella Bloggerfeller's also back, writing under the new name february 30, and that it's promised that the majority of the posts will be my maunderings on abtruse cultural, historical and linguistic topics which is after all what I liked best, personally. There are also a few sock puppet blogs, and of these, The Blogmenbashi and Gimmie Tenure cracked me up.
On preview: dern, it deleted my rollover titles. Well, frick it.

PF: In the immortal words of Johnny Carson, I did not know that! Many thanks for the heads-up.
Posted by language hat at March 1, 2004 07:48 AMOh, and rollovers don't work in comments. Sorry about that.
Posted by language hat at March 1, 2004 07:49 AMIt's sort of like an individual apostolic succession (though there are no apostles and Jesus analogies I can think of). It was more of a joke. For every reader of a site there is a path to a site. In your case I can remember that I saw the link or your name in one of the comments at glosses.net. Unfortunately, I cannot recall how I heard of glosses.net. Thus your "genealogy" is incomplete. Though for some people finding your site would be through Google, or perhaps mentioned in an e-mail, so they would have a low value in this poorly thought out analogy. Basically, I was trying to say that I found your site through glosses.net, but had to add something that showed a little wit. Unfortunately I didn't quite think it through.
*bangs head on wall and wonders what foolish thought process caused that analogy to pop into his head*

Posted by Ex-C.Bloggerfeller at March 2, 2004 09:08 AMWelcome back, C. I harbor the illusion that Your Polypseudonymity is also the pseudonymous coauthor ("C. Banc" meaning 'C. Joke' in Romanian) of the anthology of Soviet-bloc humor entitled _You Call This Living?_ No denials accepted.
