So on Saturday I said, among other things:

1. "Silliman...rarely, if ever, refers to a post on someone else's blog or links to it; nor does he, like nearly every other blogger I read, have any links to others' blogs."

2. "I read the blogs I read because I like the blog itself, rather than some presumed "real" work that hovers behind it...the blog itself's become a kind of art form, too, one that exists in parallel to whatever other work we do. Linking, referring, and obsessing are what it's all about."

Over the next two days:

1. Ron Silliman both refers to another post (Kasey's) and posts a list of links.

2. Kasey starts a poetry blog.

I don't know whether to be embarrassed or to take the credit.
