A (Hopefully) Final Note about Trackbacks

Last month, we experienced serious problems with the trackback component of the software we were then using. We think the trouble stemmed from our need, shared by many other bloggers, to blacklist the ever-morphing poker (and worse) sites that leave trackbacks seemingly at random on archived posts. The damage wasn't slight, however: not only did many bloggers find it impossible to ping us, but our archives were mostly wiped clean of accumulated trackbacks, which (if I recall correctly) peaked at around 40 for one of my posts on the FEC.

We've since upgraded our software, and it seems to be working well. Should you have any difficulting pinging us, please do let me know immediately.

In this one case, however, I hope NOT to hear from anyone!
