I don't wait to alienate any readers but...

I do not "reciprolink". If you like to read my blog, that makes me happy. But I don't blog for traffic, nor do I link for traffic. When I do blog (yes, I know) I do it because I want to. So if you send me an email asking for a reciprolink and I reply with a very nice no thank you, and you resend the original email again, if you really think I'm going to link to you, you are out of your ever-loving fucking mind.

I'm not aware of "reciprolink". Does that mean that they want you to include them on your blogroll because they're including you on theirs? Whatever.

I blog for myself, too. Sometimes I have to remind myself of that, because if I don't get any comments I tend to think that I'm boring everyone to tears. Then I slap myself and get back to the "I'm doing this for ME" thing.

Someday I'd like to print off my blog (in a readable/aesthetically pleasing format) to keep as a journal, maybe for a grandkid or someone.

I have never heard of that, and think it's just as stupid as you do. I have a blogroll that I like; I would be offended at anyone trying to get on it just because they want to be "popular."

I feel like bookmarking this post, so I can borrow your colorful language next time someone asks me to 'reciprolink'! I feel the same way you do. My links are for my own convenience and my readers' amusement. No blog-politics, please.
