Question: The Technorati “Blog Authority” counter does not pick up many of the sites that link to the FM site. Does anyone know why?

The counter may not pick up some links because of the “no-follow” attribute that WordPress automatically adds to outgoing links. I view it as a aspect of the paranoia over “Free Rider Problem” and a symptom of an increasingly sociopathic culture.
Congrats on the milestone, and may good luck and good techs follow your web voyage. I have enjoyed your posting since the DNI days, and I know the effort is not a minor one.
