Ah, So *That's* How It Works...
It seems that TrackBack put a link to the Saskatchewan post into Eric's post about Mateo. Now people who read his post will be able to see links to the post in which I referenced it. Interesting... though it seems to me that it would make sense to reference it both ways instead of one.

Huh. That's odd. I guess it's assumed that if you're pinging someone, you're putting a link to their post in at the same time on your own.
This reeks of all kinds of potential for abuse.
Step 1: find popular blog.
Step 2: ping them constantly to draw off traffic.
Step 3: profit.
Actually I think there's a mechanism you can use to ban people from doing that. Maybe. Or there should be at least.

Yeah, no kidding... the same thought crossed my mind. Not that I'd do that, cause that's certainly reason to get your account banned, but still...
