Just wondering

Why do some people use so many irrelevant hot links in their posts?

Jeez, Jason, it was joke. You know, taking something real and exaggerating it for comic effect? (Look around this blog--90% of it is meant to be humorous. Whether I succeed at that is another matter entirely.)

When I see a hot link on a Web page, I take it that the writer means, "This link will help you understand what I'm writing about." When there are umpteen links in a paragraph, it's overwhelming and distracting--like someone making up for the lack of original scholarship or thought by using 100 footnotes. Surely you've gotten lost in links and forgotten where you started?

This was not meant as a critique of your blog, which I have not seen.
