Even my lowly little Occam's RazR -- with a change of jobs and slow summer posting -- has retained an Authority of 78. Let's break this down for a moment, for those who don't know: In the last six months, 81 different blogs have linked to Himler. 78 to me. And only 3 to "Beyond the Hype." Now, you might have a dedicated fan who chooses to link to you 100 times, but it only counts once per blog. Mark... you also know that I don't play link-love games, almost never play the meme game, and I don't write for anyone else but me. And I STILL have "Hype" beat 26-to-1. This is just one example of why I started screaming when this "bracket" rolled out from under the Rock of Linkbait.
