Flashes of Panic

One problem I find with "so many" people writing weblogs is that I find, after I've posted something, that any number of other people have covered it much better than I did. Through Halley Suitt I found Jonathon Delacour's discussion of relationships and connections in the weblogging community, which includes more links to some good stuff, some of which I've read and some which I haven't. (I recommend the Stavros the Wonderchicken article, if you have time to read it, especially the part about writing whatever you want, however well you want to, whether or not you think anyone's reading.)

I am too new here to have a community, I think, but it's fun sometimes to look at the few links so far. For instance, somewhere I was found by Nancy McGough, who was responsible for my start(s) with mail filtering in college and again when I got here and became a mail admin through her procmail quick start. She's using a very interesting (from my point of view) software package, but as far as I can tell, Nancy has never been shy about finding potential in interesting new software packages. (Wikis spring to mind.) Anyway, it was a tickle to see that nice reference in my logs.
