I posted this before you so I should get a link acknowledging my superiority, again.

Eh? I edited to send you a trackback after I noticed you\'d posted about the same thing.

Its still blocked for me.

George, it's still blocked for everyone. Unless you moved to some other country overnight or have Railnet.

My trackbacks are perfect, as you can see here.

You need to work on yours.

Apparently, Blogspot has been unblocked. A nutty move undone.

How embarassing for the DoT.
