Glenn Reynolds, with his telegraphic, link-rich style, popularized this medium. We owe him greatly. But there are others to whom we owe equally: they who've graced it with essays filled with serious thought; who've maintained high standards for courtesy and style; who've persevered in that effort despite a lack of remuneration; who've strained to sustain significant conversations on vital subjects; who've dared to contradict the conventional wisdom, and justified their stances with evidence and logic; who've trundled along for years with two- or three-digit readerships and have not complained.

I value InstaPundit, but largely because InstaPundit assisted me in finding those others.

As George once sang, "I've got blisters on me fingers!"

Yes, but if you play it backwards, you hear "Glenn is a bloody chipmunk" - evidence that perhaps Mr. Reynolds is now himself, an aggregate of several other bloggers. After all, how is it possible that one person could devote so much time to blogging?

Beware the nanobots...
