Okay, time out: LAVA is a friend of mine, and is just looking out for me. The concern stems from the fact that although my blog is popular and people link to me rather often, there are others who very obviously have no shame whatsoever and just steal my content. It's too easy - just copy all, change some of the wording, reorganize the pictures, and voila! original content.... The amount of work that goes into my research is huge, and to have others steal it is depressing. But Cory is correct in that that we can't link all the way back to the 'discoverer'. What, we have to do this: Via____, via____, via_____, via____?
I don't think so.
At any rate, BB has linked to me a couple of times, and I will always be grateful for that. Even the first time, when the traffic knocked my blog out for 12 hours!!!! Thanks, y'all.
