0xDECAFBAD: The irony in my life is that, with my lack of much free time, automated agents, aggregators, and weblogs have given me more personal contact with human beings than I might have been able to achieve without them. Ditto.
In many ways, referrer logs already closed the loop. And weblogs.com is the perfect example of a spam magnet that has not melted down yet.
By the way, if all goes according to plan, the trackback for this blog entry should happen without any human intervention.
